Context
In April 2023, a large-scale conflict erupted in Sudan, causing massive displacement in all neighbouring countries. The total number of refugees has exceeded one million and Chad has so far hosted more than 500,000 Sudanese refugees and 100,000 Chadian returnees, or about 20% of the total displaced population. Since the beginning, the population fleeing the war has found a first security along the border areas with Darfur, then it was gradually relocated to refugee camps in the three provinces of the East. Of the 43% of the population relocated, 64% were transferred to camps in Ouaddai, 28% to Wadi Fira and 8% to Sila. The vast majority of the remaining population is currently in informal sites in Adre (Ouaddai), waiting to’relocate to the new camps.
