Chad is struggling to support a massive influx of Sudanese refugees fleeing the ongoing civil war between the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF). The conflict, which began 30 months ago, has displaced nearly 12 million people, creating a major humanitarian crisis. Chad, already hosting over 880,000 Sudanese refugees, has received thousands more following recent violence in el-Fasher. The UNHCR is working with the Chadian government to provide aid, including water, shelter, food, and medical care, and to relocate refugees to better-equipped facilities. However, resources are severely strained, and critical programs, like malnutrition treatment, face funding shortages, impacting both refugees and the host community.
