CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC: UN HUMANITARIAN FUND ALLOCATES $7 MILLION
FOR LIFESAVING AIDNew York, Jun 4 2013 1:00PMAn allocation of over
$7.1 million from the United Nations Central Emergency Response Fund
(CERF) will provide more than a million people in the Central African
Republic – half of them children – with lifesaving assistance, the UN
humanitarian relief arm announced today.
"This allocation will enable us to provide life-saving assistance
targeted at people in desperate need of help,"
<"http://reliefweb.int/report/central-african-republic/un-humanitarian-fund-allocates-71-million-crisis-affected-people">said
the Humanitarian Coordinator for the country, Kaarina Immonen.
The 1.1 million people to be helped include 595,000 children below
five years of age.
"We will provide food and medical assistance, access to potable water
and sanitation, psychosocial support to victims of gender-based
violence, waste management support and reproductive health care," she
added in a news release issued by the UN Office for the Coordination
of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA).
The office stressed that further funding is required as the
Humanitarian Appeal for CAR is under-funded at 31 per cent of the
requested $139 million.
The dire humanitarian situation in the CAR has been exacerbated by
fighting in the past six months which further deteriorated even the
most basic services. Violence erupted in December 2012 when the Séléka
rebel coalition launched a series of attacks.
A peace agreement was reached in January, but the rebels again seized
the capital, Bangui, in March, forcing President François Bozizé to
flee.
An estimated 206,000 people are internally displaced in the country,
while another 49,000 have fled mainly to the Democratic Republic of
the Congo, Cameroon and Chad. CAR is also housing some 17,000 refugees
from the neighbouring countries.
"Access to people in need is difficult due to a challenging security
situation, but emergency relief activities are taking place where and
when possible," OCHA said in the news release.
With such diverse needs, the CERF funding will be allocated to
priority sectors where the UN is providing assistance in the CAR. The
UN Population Fund (UNFPA) will receive $279,792 to strengthen
emergency obstetrical and neonatal care and to provide assistance to
victims of sexual violence.
Some $875,000 has been allocated to the UN World Health Organization
(WHO) for provision of emergency health care including surgical
treatment to people affected by the crisis.
To provide food security assistance to vulnerable populations, the UN
Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) receives $806,215, while the
UN World Food Programme (WFP) has been allocated $680,510. In
addition, WFP will re-establish emergency telecommunication services
for the humanitarian community with an additional allocation of
$735,983, and a further $1 million to ensure continuation of the UN
Humanitarian Air Service (UNHAS).
The UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) is allocated $375,000 to provide
protection monitoring and assistance to IDPs, and the UN Children's
Fund (UNICEF) receives $1,599,929 to provide health and nutrition
assistance and other projects, including a joint initiative with the
UN Development Programme (UNDP) on hygiene and waste management
services.Jun 4 2013 1:00PM
