AS SECURITY COUNCIL MEETS ON CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC, UN FLIES IN EMERGENCY AID
New York, Apr 9 2013 12:00PM
With the United Nations Security Council set today to meet on the
Central African Republic (CAR), where armed rebels seized power two
weeks ago, more than 23 tonnes of essential medical supplies and water
tanks were delivered by the United Nations Children's Fund to assist
some 200,000 people.

"This delivery represents a vital step in enabling children and the
population at large to regain basic access to medical care," said
Souleymane Diabate, UNICEF's Representative in the CAR, where the aid
was <"http://www.unicef.org/media/media_68632.html">delivered Monday.
"However, this is only the tip of the iceberg in terms of needs. So
much has been lost in the looting in a country where children already
face some of the most difficult survival conditions in the world."

Emergency medical kits will be used to treat about 200,000 people
affected by the conflict for the next three months. The water tanks
will secure water provision at the main hospitals and health centres
in the capital, Bangui, and other areas.

Insecurity and looting have been pervasive since the power grab by the
Séléka rebel coalition. UNICEF now estimates that the entire
population of the Central African Republic, about 4.6 million people
including over 2.3 million children, is directly affected by the
conflict due to the collapse of services and law and order. UN
agencies and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) operating in the
country were also affected as they had their offices, vehicles and
warehouses looted.

The aid flown in is one of the most significant deliveries of relief
supplies to the CAR following recent weeks of insecurity and looting
in which hospitals and health facilities incurred serious losses of
medical supplies, equipment and furnishings.

"The supplies will be selectively distributed to health partners who
have the capacity to undertake care and treatment of those most in
need starting with main hospitals and health facilities," Mr. Diabate
said. "The new Government has pledged its cooperation with these
efforts."

Since the coup d'etat, UNICEF has delivered 81 tonnes of emergency
supplies to partners, and specifically essential drugs and medical
equipment for over 60,000 people to health partners operating at
hospitals and health centres.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has also provided technical
support to the CAR ministry of health to set up a crisis unit that can
coordinate emergency responses, provide medicines and emergency
surgical supplies, since most facilities have been looted. WHO is also
supporting the provision of basic health services through NGO partners
in healthcare facilities in accessible areas.
