The Central African Republic (CAR) is experiencing one of the most acute humanitarian crises in the world. The country has been hit by successive coups and waves of conflict, culminating in the 2013 crisis with unprecedented levels of violence that continue to grip the country. As a result, hundreds of thousands of people remain displaced and face acute food insecurity. Nationwide, there are approximately 700,000 internally displaced people. According to the May 2023 IPC, a total of 1.7 million people (or 41% of the population of 6.1 million) are in a situation of significant acute food insecurity.
