Synopsis
In Bria, the largest internally displaced persons camp in the Central African Republic, over 40,000 individuals live in makeshift huts after fleeing violence from the Popular Front for the Renaissance of the Central African Republic. Médecins Sans Frontières and Oxfam provide limited food and water, delivering only two-thirds of what is essential for survival. The conflict, which began between Seleka rebels and Christian anti-balaka forces, has fragmented into at least 14 armed groups, controlling 75 percent of the country and competing for resources, particularly beef.
