Inter-communal violence is tearing Central African Republic apart but the conflict is not getting the attention, or aid, needed to save hunge numbers of lives, Reuters qutoed the head of the U.N. refugee agency (UNHCR) as saying on Wednesday. Almost 200,000 people have fled the country since December, and a further 160,000 are expected to this year. The UNHCR says it is spending cash there three times as fast as new funds are coming in, putting its mission in jeopardy. "Indeed, we are in trouble," UNHCR chief Antonio Guterres told diplomats as he launched a $274 million appeal. Central African Republic is only one crisis among many demanding U.N. funds stretched by humanitarian needs in South Sudan, Somalia and Yemen, as well as natural disasters such as Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines, and above all, Syria. "Obviously there's no way we'll to be able to sustain this until the end of the year," Guterres told the diplomats. "At a certain moment we will be simply broke." -- SPA 23:38 LOCAL TIME 20:38 GMT تغريد
