Haute-Kotto: 27 children formerly associated with armed groups benefit from socio-economic reintegration support. GENERAL CONTEXT Mbomou and Haut-Mbomou Prefectures – South-East No confirmed cases of Ebola virus disease (EVD) have been reported in the Central African Republic (CAR). However, the ongoing outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) continues to pose a risk of importation, particularly in the south-east of the country. On 28 October, a coordination meeting held in Bangassou reviewed preparedness measures and identified gaps in surveillance, health facility capacity, prepositioning of supplies, isolation sites, water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), as well as risk communication and community engagement. On 31 October, a crisis meeting convened in Ouango brought together local authorities, community leaders and humanitarian partners to assess risks related to cross-border movements from the DRC and strengthen coordination of response measures. Infection prevention and control (IPC) equipment was also delivered to high-risk areas with support from the Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF). HUMANITARIAN NEEDS AND RESPONSE Health Countrywide To strengthen operational readiness and the resilience of the health system against the risk of an importation EVD, the World Health Organization (WHO) and its partners trained 107 frontline health workers in Bangui from 27 to 31 October, including doctors, nurses, hygienists, rapid response teams, and psychosocial staff. The training covered key areas such as the clinical management of EVD cases, the organization and operation of an Ebola Treatment Centre (ETC), epidemiological and community-based investigation of alerts, as well as psychosocial support and mental health care for affected individuals. The programme concluded with a simulation exercise designed to test coordination and response mechanisms in the event of an Ebola outbreak declaration. These activities are being implemented with support from the CERF. Heavy rain Bangui Prefecture On 30 October, the government chaired a strategic meeting bringing together national authorities, United Nations agencies, NGOs and donors to assess the impact of heavy rains that affected several neighborhoods of Bangui and surrounding areas. According to preliminary assessments, more than 5, 300 people have been affected by damage to property and continue to face the risk of waterborne diseases with epidemic potential. Discussions focused on priority needs in shelter, non-food items (NFIs), WASH, health, and food assistance, as well as response coordination mechanisms and the limitations of the humanitarian response to the floods. Following the meeting, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) provided essential household items to the Ministry of Humanitarian Action to support assistance to people affected by the floods.
