Crises in Africa are being overlooked, with news about humanitarian emergencies on the continent buried beneath the weight of media attention focused elsewhere, according to a recent report by CARE International. The 2023 report entitled ‘Breaking the Silence: Ten Humanitarian Crises That Didn’t Make Headlines in 2023’ lists ten forgotten humanitarian crises of last year, all of whom are taking place in Africa. Climate change plays a huge role, the aid organization says, and more media attention is needed. This is the 8th edition of the ‘Breaking the Silence’ report where CARE International draws attention to the world’s “forgotten crises”. However, the Central African Republic (CAR) occupied a place in this sad list every year, according to the report.
