Country: Central African Republic Source: UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs Please refer to the attached file. HIGHLIGHTS Deaths, injuries and population displacement following clashes in Am-Dafock, Vakaga prefecture. Escalating violence and access constraints continue to exacerbate the humanitarian crisis in Haut-Mbomou prefecture. 200 vulnerable households receive seeds and farming tools in Koui, Ouham-Pendé prefecture. GENERAL CONTEXT Vakaga Prefecture – North-East Civilians were killed and injured, while a significant number of people—mostly women and children—sought refuge at the MINUSCA Force base following an attack by armed elements in Am-Dafock on 29 June. Clashes continued on 30 June, further deteriorating the security situation and triggering additional displacement, the scale of which remains unknown. Humanitarian access in the area is expected to become even more constrained, as humanitarian actors suspended movements last week following an armed robbery incident. This disruption is affecting the delivery of life-saving assistance to at least 34,000 vulnerable people, particularly in the sectors of health, food security and protection. Limited mobile network coverage continues to hamper information-sharing from Am-Dafock. In Birao, the capital of Vakaga Prefecture, shops and businesses remained closed on 30 June due to insecurity-related fears. The town currently hosts around 25,000 Sudanese refugees—approximately twice its resident population—placing considerable pressure on already scarce local resources and further complicating efforts to respond to growing humanitarian needs. HUMANITARIAN NEEDS AND RESPONSE Multi-sector Haut-Mbomou Prefecture – South-East The NGO Technical Support for Community Development Cooperation (CATDEC), a partner of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), provided cash assistance to 249 households in Zémio from 24 to 26 June. The beneficiaries included internally displaced persons (IDPs), returnees, and members of the host community caring for individuals with specific needs. This intervention aimed to strengthen the livelihoods of the most vulnerable individuals within these households. The activity was carried out with the support of the Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF). Health Ouham-Pendé Prefecture – West The Rehabilitation Center for People with Physical Disabilities (CHRAM) provided medical care to approximately 500 vulnerable individuals, including internally displaced persons (IDPs), returnees, and members of the host community. Through its mobile clinic, the organization conducted activities from 22 to 26 June along the Bozoum–Bocaranga, Bozoum–Bouar, and Bozoum–Paoua axes, offering consultations on maternal and child health as well as malnutrition.In addition, 80 pregnant women received micronutrient supplements (iron and folic acid) during antenatal care consultations at five health facilities in the region. Supported by the Central African Republic Humanitarian Fund (CAR HF), these activities aim to strengthen disease prevention, improve nutrition, and promote good health practices within the community.
