Half of Raqqa’s population is estimated to have fled the city in the past two weeks. WASH conditions are particularly worrying as the supply network is not functioning and sewage systems have been destroyed. Waterborne diseases are on the rise, and a polio outbreak is ongoing. Healthcare services are very limited, in part due to insufficient fuel and electricity. Fleeing the city is becoming more challenging as smuggling fees are increasing.

The security situation in Basse-Kotto has deteriorated due to clashes between UPC and anti-balaka militia. Access along the Alindao-Kongbo-Mobaye and Mobaye-Zangba roads is severely limited with reports of several damaged bridges. Access to Mobaye airport is nearly impossible. Local hospitals are running out of medicine supplies. 75–90% of Mobayes’ 25,000 residents have reportedly fled the town, mostly to the Democratic Republic of Congo but also to remote islands along the Ubangi River.
