Highlights
- Insecurity in CAR: The humanitarian situation in CAR remains critical as of October 2024. The country is facing severe challenges due to ongoing conflict, displacement, socio-economic instability and the impacts of climate shocks. The security situation is volatile, particularly in Haut-Mbomou, where there are increasing concerns about the safety and protection of civilians. There are reports of human rights abuses, including attacks on civilians, sexual violence, and the recruitment of child soldiers, creating an environment of fear and instability.
- Flooding in CAR: The recent floods in CAR have disproportionately impacted women and girls. According to the Ministry of Humanitarian Action, 31,634 people have been affected – over half are women and girls. Flood-affected cities, including Bimbo, Bozoum, Bossangoa, Bria, Damara, Bamingui-Bangoran and Nanga-Boguila, have also been impacted by armed conflict, limiting access to sexual and reproductive health (SRH) and protection services and exacerbating gender inequalities.
- Improved access: The delivery of humanitarian aid by road, both cross-border and crossline, has improved with the onset of the dry season in October.
