14:06Now PlayingAbout 2.5 million people, or over half the population, in the Central African Republic depend on humanitarian aid to survive. The widespread need stems from a long-standing conflict often described as sectarian but is actually a brutal power struggle for the country’s many natural resources.
Right now, three-fourths of CAR is in the hands of at least 14 armed groups. They support themselves through indiscriminate stealing and killing, especially within the country’s crucial cattle industry.
VICE's Ben Anderson visited the camp as well as rebel-controlled areas of the Central African Republic to report on the unfolding disaster.
This report originally aired June 11, 2018, on VICE on HBO.
