Four international humanitarian organizations have temporarily suspended activities in northern Central African Republic (CAR) after dozens of attacks on aid workers in the region, the United Nations humanitarian office today said.
During the first quarter of the year, 33 incidents targeting humanitarians were recorded across the country, placing CAR among the?, the UN agency reported.
We cannot allow the Central African Republic to become a forgotten crisis, said Christine Muhigana, UNICEF Representative in the Central African Republic. The reality is that without sufficient support we will not be able to provide the vital services that are needed to keep children healthy, safe and in school.
The UN agency is facing a $32.6 million funding gap in its work in the country.
