UN asks for $270 million to aid humanitarian operations in CAR

The United Nations launched an appeal for $274 million to aid people that have fled the sectarian conflict in the Central African Republic, reports the Associated Press.

“All agencies working in the region are dramatically underfunded,” the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, Antonio Guterres, said today.

The money will be used by the UN refugee agency and 14 other non-governmental aid organisations.

Over 200,000 people have sought refuge in neighbouring conflict due to the escalating violence in the region.
