(UNHCR) – UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, is extremely worried over continued violence in the Central African Republic, which has been causing massive new levels of displacement. The number of Central African refugees in neighbouring countries now stands at 513,676. This is the highest number of CAR refugees seen since the start of the crisis in 2013. In addition to the refugees some 600,000 people have been forced to flee inside the country. This means that total displacement is also at its highest level ever, at over 1.1 million. Meanwhile funding, at 9 per cent, is among the lowest of any refugee situation anywhere.
