HIGHLIGHTS

Due to the continued outflow of Central African refugees to neighbouring countries, UNHCR and partners are planning to release a revision of the Regional Response Plan (RRP) in Geneva on 22 July. The first RRP was launched in April by 15 appealing agencies (6 UN agencies, IOM and 8 NGOs).

This week, Amnesty International stated that “perpetrators of serious human rights abuses in the Central African Republic (CAR) must be brought to justice as part of efforts to end months of violence”. A report released this week, entitled Central African Republic: Time for Accountability, documents crimes under international law committed across the country in 2013 and 2014 and states that there remains a climate of impunity that prevents judicial authorities from carrying out criminal investigations.
Operational Context
- Renewed violence in Bambari, Central African Republic this week resulted in the deaths of 27 people, including women and children, and 37 injured at the Evêché IDP site which shelters some 12,000 IDPs. It has been reported that a great number of IDPs at this site have now fled to two other IDP sites near the MISCA and Sangaris bases. The escalating violence in CAR is threatening the delivery of humanitarian assistance to IDPs, as well as refugees in the country, as the security situation continues to worsen.
