The shelter situation in the Central African Republic (CAR) is critical. As of early 2025, there is a severe shortage of emergency shelters, especially in the Korsi settlement in Birao, Vakaga Prefecture. One in five Central Africans are displaced either internally or abroad due to ongoing conflicts and natural disasters. Many are forced to sleep in the open or seek temporary refuge in humanitarian facilities. Our GANNET Virtual Assistant analysis highlights that the shelter crisis is part of a broader humanitarian challenge in CAR, where conflicts, displacement, and natural disasters continue to strain limited resources and expose vulnerable populations to various risks, including health issues, protection concerns, and further displacement, underscoring the urgent need for international support and sustainable solutions.
