The strife-torn Central African Republic (CAR) topped the **rwegian Refugee Council’s 2016 list released on Thursday of the 10 most neglected countries suffering displacement crises, followed by the Democratic Republic of Congo, Sudan, South Sudan and Nigeria.
More than 12 million people have been forced from their homes in these countries combined, according to NRC figures. Each year, the council presents a list of the most ig**red crises.
"The fact that most of these people do **t turn up at our doorsteps, gives us ** right to close our eyes to their suffering and does **t remove our responsibility to assist," the council’s Secretary General Jan Egeland said in a statement.
"Many of the displaced people have fled their homes multiple times, and each time they get increasingly vulnerable," he added.
Although one in five Central Africans are displaced from their homes due to violence between the pro-Muslim Seleka and the pro-Christian anti-Balaka groups, only 38 percent of a UN appeal for humanitarian assistance to the country was covered last year, the NGO said.
The African countries haven’t received e**ugh eco**mic help to meet basic needs, "limited media attention", and that there’s a "lack of political will to solve the crises", it added.
"Eco**mic support to alleviate humanitarian crises must be given based on needs, and **t be subject to geopolitical interests," Egeland said.
"In addition, we need to work for long-term political solutions, which can lift countries out of a negative spiral of violence, war and poverty," he added.
