Sudanese refugees in Chad surge twentyfold as aid dries up
Original: Number of Sudanese fleeing to Chad surges 20-fold as aid runs dry, UN says
The UN says the number of Sudanese fleeing into Chad has surged twentyfold as the war that began in April 2023 continues to displace civilians, while funding shortfalls leave aid agencies unable to meet basic needs in overstretched border camps. Aid groups warn that without fresh international contributions, food, water and medical supplies will run out for the growing refugee population.
Why now: The UN's stark figures on the twentyfold surge in arrivals and dwindling aid highlight the worsening humanitarian crisis from Sudan's civil war.
