Chancela Tchaga is posing with Ezéchiel, one of her four children. He opened his left facial arch while playing in the garden and was treated by the MSF medical team of Bria, CAR. Chancela and her family are part of the few returnees, after living five years in the displacement site Pk3 of Bria. They are proud of posing in front of their new house that they fled in 2016 and reconstructed in May 2022, through the pilot program of the UNHCR.
The Pk3 site in Bria is the largest site of internally displaced people in CAR. In front of the base of the UN mission in the country (MINUSCA), people started to find shelter here back in the end of 2016 to escape armed violence and clashes, opposing factions from former rebel coalition Seleka and anti-Balaka militias.
Returning home after several years of absence is not easy. Like the rest of the population, after so many years of conflict, they will find it difficult to regain their former life.

MSF opened a dedicated cholera treatment centre (CTC) in Munigi, Nyiragongo territory, on the 26th of November. Between 26 November and 7 December, 267 patients were admitted, a third of whom were children under five.

In response to the rapid increase in suspected cholera cases, two additional tents have been set up to accommodate the large number of patients and increase the capacity to 100 beds. Community activities have been also intensified to raise awareness and ensure early detection, as too many patients arrive late, in an already severe state of dehydration.
