CARE has suspended operations temporarily and hopes conditions will soon improve so that the agency may resume its critical humanitarian activities. Our first priority is the security of all our national and international staff. CARE hopes to resume work in Gueckedou as soon as possible. The situation leaves some refugees without food, as CARE was in the process of distributing food in the camps. The evacuated staff report that refugees and the local people are frightened and feel vulnerable.
CARE is one of the world's largest international relief and development organizations.
