- Up to 130,000 refugees have fled from the Central African Republic (CAR) to
Cameroon, many of them wounded from attacks, dehydrated or traumatized, say
local officials and aid workers, who are struggling to cope with the speed of
the influx.
In just two weeks of February, more than
20,000 CAR refugees entered Cameroon. Overall, one in five residents of CAR is
displaced, either internally or in neighbouring countries.
Very few aid agencies are present to
respond to the needs of the displaced, and many of the arrivals have not
received any shelter materials, non-food items, food or other help.
