Violence hinders aid delivery in northern Central African Republic
None
Fighting between rival armed groups and a string of attacks on humanitarians in northern Central African Republic has hindered the delivery of aid to about 120,000 people in need of food, agencies said on Thursday.
Violence in the town of Kaga Bandoro last month between the mainly Muslim Seleka group and Christian anti-Balaka militia killed six people and forced 3,200 to flee their homes, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said.
While the UN peacekeeping mission (MINUSCA) has managed to quell the fighting and improve security, there has been a heavy spell of attacks on aid agencies, said Fabrizio Hochschild, UN humanitarian coordinator for the country.
