Supplying water to refugees south of Bangui (Central African Republic)

Last December, a multi-ethnic conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo led to major population movements: between 80,000 and 100,000 people crossed the border into Congo Brazzaville and CAR.

The French Red Cross called on Veoliaforce to supervise a team responsible for finding emergency solutions to supply drinking water to several refugee settlements in the Central African Republic, in an area south of Bangui along the Oubangui River, the natural border to the south of the country.

The installation of Aquaforce mobile units and the organization of a water distribution circuit using tanker trucks gave 20,000 refugees access to water.
