Description
Activation date: 2021-07-27
Event type: Humanitarian
Activation reason:
The CEMS Risk and Recovery Standard (STD) has been activated by DG ECHO to get updated information about the Internally Displaced Person (IDP) site named PK-3 and located in the proximity of Bria, in Central African Republic.PK-3 camp is one of the largest in the CAR, hosting more than 50000 people (estimate referred to April 2021 - https://reports.unocha.org/en/country/car/card/3FNn0YTWwg/), and has been a refuge for displaced people for several years. Some have fled intercommunal tensions, others violence and clashes. Some IDPs have come from far, others from parts of town just a few kilometres away. Recently, in April 2021, a fire accidentally broke out in the camp, leaving some 364 shelters destroyed and at least 2000 people homeless.As the security situation in Bria is improving, returning from the PK-3 site could become a possibility soon.
