Central African Republic: Floods

Since 17 July 2009, the Government of the CAR, the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement present in Bangui (CAR Red Cross society, ICRC and the International Federation), partner national societies (PNS) like the French Red Cross, local companies, embassies, UN agencies and other NGOs have been making joint efforts to assist flood victims in Bangui by providing financial, material and technical resources to reduce the effects of floods. In fact, Government made available three secured sites that are not liable to flooding for the operation. Two of the three sites where serviced and used for the operation. The third was left out because of lack of funding.
