Crisis in Central Africa

The talk highlights the humanitarian challenges in Burundi and the Central African Republic. In Burundi, improved stability in 2023 prompted 26,500 refugees to return, though only 35% of funding needs were met. In the Central African Republic, violence and displacement leave 2.8 million in need of aid in 2024, including 1.3 million children. UNICEF seeks $66.7 million for life-saving support, focusing on displaced and vulnerable children. Ongoing global support remains critical.
