amid fear and growing needs<br />
Continued from Page 1<<br />
following the violent fighting on 9 and<br />
17 <strong>January</strong>.<br />
Displaced people in Bouar living amid fear and growing needs<br />
of Bouar is quite strategic for the<br />
parties to the conflict. On 9 <strong>January</strong>,<br />
armed groups gathered together as the<br />
new rebel coalition, Coalition des<br />
Patriotes pour le Changement (CPC),<br />
attacked positions of the Central<br />
African Armed Forces (FACA) and the<br />
United Nations Peacekeeping Mission<br />
(MINUSCA) in the town. <strong>The</strong> clashes<br />
were intense and took place in<br />
densely-populated areas of Bouar.<br />
Violent fighting broke out again on 17<br />
<strong>January</strong>.<br />
Since then, more than 8,000 people,<br />
including many families and young<br />
children, have been forced to leave<br />
their homes. Nearly half of them are<br />
currently living in the city’s former<br />
cathedral, the largest of the six<br />
makeshift camps for displaced people,<br />
where Médecins Sans Frontières<br />
(MSF) has just started emergency<br />
activities.<br />
MSF providing water and<br />
sanitation, medical care and support<br />
“It is total destitution. <strong>The</strong> living<br />
conditions in the sites hosting<br />
internally displaced people are<br />
deplorable, particularly due to the lack<br />
of sufficient access to water,” says<br />
Tristan Le Lonquer, MSF Head of<br />
Mission in CAR. “<strong>The</strong> water network<br />
is no longer functional and the few<br />
wells accessible in the town are not<br />
enough to meet the needs of all the<br />
displaced, so there is a real water<br />
shortage.”<br />
MSF is setting up water points,<br />
building showers and latrines and<br />
installing mobile clinics to provide<br />
basic health care to all displaced<br />
people in need. Since the start of our<br />
activities, in addition to the 20,000<br />
litres of water provided per day, our<br />
teams have carried out 672<br />
consultations in all displaced people’s<br />
sites and referred seven people<br />
requiring further medical care to<br />
hospital. We have distributed basic<br />
necessities kits (non-food items) to<br />
250 families.<br />
MSF is also providing ongoing<br />
support to local medical structures,<br />
particularly in the operating block of<br />
Bouar hospital, where we treated, in<br />
collaboration with the Ministry of<br />
Health, a total of nine war-wounded<br />
Coordinated humanitarian<br />
response needed to meet urgent,<br />
growing needs<br />
<strong>The</strong> thousands of displaced people,<br />
who fled the fighting and the growing<br />
insecurity as the rebels advance, are<br />
now caught between the need to get<br />
away from danger and the need to<br />
keep an eye on their property and<br />
fields.<br />
Those who have decided to stay are<br />
victims of enforced disappearances,<br />
robbery and extortion by armed men<br />
who now control part of the city. This<br />
violence has not spared the<br />
humanitarian organisations and<br />
infrastructures which have been the<br />
object of numerous lootings and have<br />
therefore had to reduce or suspend<br />
their activities while the needs are<br />
increasing.<br />
<strong>The</strong> displaced people of Bouar are<br />
facing a growing crisis, and an<br />
effective and coordinated<br />
humanitarian response is urgently<br />
needed.<br />
