23.02.2018 08:02 "Agro Perspectiva" (Kyiv) —
As of yesterday, while speaking within a four-day visit to the Central African Republic (CAR), UN Deputy Emergency Relief Coordinator Ursula Mueller urged the international community to boost support for humanitarian efforts within the crisis-gripped Central African Republic (CAR), where nearly half the population requires assistance, Ukrinform reports.
«CAR is facing a large-scale humanitarian crisis,» she said.
«Violence is fast spreading across the country while urgent and critical needs are increasing and should be covered. Civilians continue to bear the brunt of violence and insecurity.»
As to the report, within her meeting with CAR President Faustin Archange Touadéra, Ms. Mueller underlined the need to ramp up efforts to protect civilians. She also shared concerns expressed by the displaced people within Paoua, namely the need for security to help them return to their homes.
It is to be admitted, the CAR is one of three countries that Ms. Mueller is visiting in West and Central Africa.
Reportedly, she will also visit Cameroon and Chad within a mission that will wrap up next Tues, as of Feb 27.
