A young girl carries water at an internally displaced person camp (IDP) near the airport of Bangui on December 12, 2013 as aid officials fear that epidemics could spread easily and UN aid agencies have not delivered any food supplies to the camp for the last week. The medical charity Doctors Without Borders (MSF) has set up a mobile clinic capable of carrying out up to 300 consultations a day. Sectarian violence that claimed at least 400 lives in Bangui last week had abated following the weekend arrival of a 1,600-strong French intervention force, but many were still afraid to return to their homes. The Muslim-majority PK district in downtown Bangui was largely empty, with most residents having fled their homes to escape reprisal attacks by Christian vigilante groups.
