UNICEF reported on Wednesday that over 850,000 people, half of them children, are still on the move - either internally displaced or refugees in neighbouring countries. UNICEF's deputy director said, ‘When children return to their communities as security improves, they will need to have schools and clinics to come to. Access to quality health and education is the cornerstone of any recovery, and the foundation for a peaceful future. Currently CAR is one of the world's most dangerous countries for children, and renewed violence threatens to undermine signs of progress.’ At the moment, efforts to reach every child in the CAR are limited by significant funding restrictions. UNICEF is calling on Central African leaders and global donors to put children first in the recovery plan.
