Health Crisis In Conflict-Torn CAR Continues To Deteriorate

“With clashes still continuing in the Central African Republic [CAR], aid groups say the health and humanitarian situation looks set to deteriorate even further. … Aid groups are warning that without greater efforts to bring the fighting under control and scale up the humanitarian response, an already-abysmal situation will deteriorate even further. And already the U.N. estimates more than half the population of 4.6 million people are in need of assistance…” (Green, 3/8).
