- The operational environment continues to be affected by ongoing military operations and armed group presence and movements, as well as opportunistic criminality affecting humanitarian workers and civilian populations.
- Heavy rainfall has caused significant damage and made many roads impassable, leading to increased prices for basic necessities and disrupting access to essential services. This has worsened the existing humanitarian crisis, where 455,533 displaced people are living in precarious conditions in internal displacement camps (IDP) camps as they await assistance to return home.

- Floods have affected several regions of the country, driving displacement and disrupting access to essential services, including sexual and reproductive health (SRH) and gender-based violence (GBV) services. Floods in Bozoum and Bria have caused significant damage.
- Heavy rains have led to rising water levels in the Oubangui River, which is threatening to flood the riverside neighborhoods of Bangui.
- During the reporting period, CAR received 14,474 Sudanese refugees (6,234 households) with severe protection needs.
