The UN’s children’s agency Unicef says two-thirds of the children in the Central African Republic – 1.5 million in all – need humanitarian aid and the crisis is getting worse.
In a report, Unicef says one in four children in the CAR is displaced and thousands have been subjected to sexual violence, yet this year the organisation has received less half the funds it needs to help them.
After years of sectarian conflict, armed groups control much of the CAR. Attacks on aid workers have quadrupled since 2017.
