As of July 2024, the Central African Republic had an estimated 467,066 internally displaced person (IDPs). Among them 17 per cent (79,955) lived in sites while 83 per cent (387,111) lived in host families. This represents an increase of 3 per cent in terms of displacements compared to the month of June 2024.

New displacements were reported in areas such as the prefectures of Ouham-Péndé, Ouham, Mbomou, Basse-Kotto and Haut-Mbomou affected by clashes between armed groups and the Central African Armed Forces, conflicts linked to transhumance and flooding.

Furthermore, a lull in the security situation and the lack of assistance led to the return of IDPs in their areas of origin. In July, returns were mostly recorded in the prefectures of Ouham, Nana-Gribizi, Haute-Kotto, Ouaka, Ouham and Haut-Mbomou.
