Central Africa: African leaders meeting in Chad - WFP's Gregory Barrow on humanitarian crisis


 African leaders are to meet in Chad today (Thursday) to discuss the future of Central African Republic President Michel Djotodia, in a attempt to end the sectarian violence ripping the country apart.
The summit was called by Chadian President Idriss Deby Itno and will bring together the ten countries making up the Economic Community of Central African States (CEEAC/ ECCAS).

EU nations are considering a joint military operation in Central Africa amid looming fears of civilian massacres, 
but there may be little appetite for boots on the ground, experts said Wednesday.

A Unicef official lalso warned yesterday (Wednesday) that Central African Republic is heading for a humanitarian disaster, calling for urgent action to prevent deadly diseases from spreading in overcrowded refugee camps.

To try to understand the state of the humanitarian action, Melissa Chemam spoke to Gregory Barrow, he is the 
UN World Food Programme's head of the liaison office in London (WFP), coordinating actions on the ground.
