Six million more for Central African refugees

(B2) The European Commission has decided to increase humanitarian aid granted to refugees fleeing the Central African Republic by €4 million. This aid is in addition to the XNUMX million euros already granted since the start of the crisis. " The appalling situation in the Central African Republic is causing a crisis throughout the region, and as the number of refugees continues to rise, there is little chance that they will be able to return home. They are dependent on our humanitarian aid to survive stresses Kristalina Georgieva, European Commissioner in charge of Humanitarian Aid. According to estimates, the current crisis in the Central African Republic has already forced more than 100.000 people to seek refuge in a neighboring country.
