Central African Republic OPERATIONAL CONTEXT: The Central African Republic (CAR) is home to the third largest humanitarian crisis in the world. Over half of the population needs humanitarian assistance, and 1.7 million people are in a severely precarious situation. Violence against civilians, and humanitarian workers, is still high. Combined with the extremely limited number of paved roads, and infrastructure generally, Central Africans continue to endure the many nefarious effects of a complex and severe humanitarian crisis. Recent attacks in the prefectures of Vakaga, Bamingui Bangoran and Haute Kotto have increased movement of population. According to the report of Commission of Displaced Population, the number has increased as of May 2020 to 484,004 internally displaces persons; 247,333 are living in sites and 236,671 in host families. As of August 31, 2020, UNHCR statistics show that the number of Central African refugees in neighbouring countries reached 613,295.
