HIGHLIGHTS
UNHCR facilitates the registration of Central African refugees in Chad, Cameroon and the Republic of Congo to enable them to vote for the elections planned at the end of December.
Following the upsurge of violence in Bangui and in other parts of the Central African Republic, causing new waves of mass displacement in the country and the region, UNHCR and its partners continue to deliver lifesaving humanitarian assistance and ensure protection of people of concern.
Access and security constraints continue to hinder the delivery of vital assistance in the north-east region of CAR and urban enclaves such as PK5.
Critical funding shortfalls are hampering UNHCR’s efforts to provide basic assistance to newly displaced families in CAR and relocate thousands of new arrivals to safer areas inside the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Republic of Congo.
