Widespread violence plaguing the Central African Republic is causing countless casualties and forcing thousands from their homes. The ICRC's president Peter Maurer was in CAR on 26-28 March, seeing our surgical teams in action and our aid effort at the M'Poko displaced peoples' settlement near Bangui airport. In this interview on his return he called for greater security in CAR, which would help the ICRC step up its efforts to deliver vital water, food and medical care.
