UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, has today launched a US$164 million appeal to provide life-saving assistance and protection to nearly 1.5 million uprooted Central Africans, including 210,000 who fled a new bout of violence related to the December 2020 presidential elections. With no end in sight to the violence fuelling the displacement crisis, nearly one third of the Central African Republic (CAR)’s population of 4.7 million have been forced to flee.
