"Chad currently shelters almost 1.3 million forcibly displaced persons, including at least 760,000 Sudanese refugees who have arrived since April 2023. This massive influx, mostly women and children, strains a country already battling economic weakness, conflict and extreme weather events. The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) collaborates with Chad's government to coordinate humanitarian operations, transfer refugees from border areas to established facilities, and provide essential protection services and aid, including water, shelter, food and medical provisions."
"Work continues to move more than 237,000 refugees from temporary settlements near Adre to locations with better healthcare and educational access. The malnutrition ward at the Farchana Hospital is currently treating at least 80 infants and children who need urgent care. These young patients receive continuous monitoring and specialised nutritional therapy throughout their recovery. However, funding for this vital programme will expire by late 2025, putting countless vulnerable children at risk."
Rapid Support Forces' capture of el-Fasher triggered renewed violence and displacement in North Darfur. A 30-month conflict between RSF and Sudanese Armed Forces has displaced nearly 12 million people. Thousands fled recent violence into Chad, which now shelters almost 1.3 million forcibly displaced persons, including at least 760,000 Sudanese refugees arriving since April 2023. The influx, mostly women and children, strains Chad's weak economy amid conflict and extreme weather. UNHCR and Chad's government coordinate transfers from border areas to established settlements and provide water, shelter, food, medical care and protection. Farchana Hospital treats at least 80 malnourished infants, but funding for nutrition programmes will expire by late 2025.
