Chad/ Central African Republic: New Central African arrivals confirmed

Several hundred refugees from the Central African Republic (CAR) have crossed the border in the last few days. UNHCR believes that 150 to 200 persons are currently present in Komba village. The local authorities, however, are reporting that a total of 467 people crossed the border last week following an attack on Markounda in northern CAR on 27 September. Other inhabitants from Markounda apparently fled elsewhere in northern CAR.
