Key takeaway The security and humanitarian situation in the Central African Republic (CAR) deteriorated significantly in May 2026 due to an intersection of cross-border epidemiological threats, recurring insecurity, and severe weather events.
Why this matters
The deteriorating security and humanitarian situation in the Central African Republic poses a significant threat to the health and well-being of vulnerable populations, particularly women and girls. The outbreak of Ebola in the neighboring Democratic Republic of the Congo and the intensification of armed group incursions and displacement have disrupted critical sexual and reproductive health services, leaving many without access to life-saving care. UNFPA's integrated response, which includes mobile clinics and community-based protection strategies, is crucial in addressing the needs of those affected. However, the significant funding gap of US $11 million hinders UNFPA's ability to deliver essential services, putting the lives of thousands of women and girls at risk. The situation highlights the need for urgent funding to support humanitarian efforts in the CAR, and for faith-based organizations and donors to prioritize support for organizations like UNFPA that are working to provide critical services to those in need.
