Central African Republic: ICRC boosts farming in west of country

More than 13,000 people living in villages between the towns of Bouar and Bohong, in the west of the Central African Republic, have received seed and farming equipment in the past few days. This region has been the scene of clashes between armed groups in recent months, with serious consequences for the local people. Fleeing for their lives after their houses were vandalized, ransacked and burned down, thousands of people sought refuge in the surrounding bush or in other parts of the country.
