Sudanese refugees

The UN says the number of Sudanese refugees crossing into Chad has increased twenty-fold as the civil war continues and humanitarian funding dries up. Aid agencies warn that shrinking resources are leaving new arrivals without food, shelter or medical care, compounding what is already one of the world's largest displacement crises. The figures underline growing international concern that the Sudan conflict is being neglected by donors.

The United Nations reports a 20-fold surge in the number of Sudanese fleeing into Chad as the country's war continues, with humanitarian funding running out and aid agencies unable to meet growing needs. Observers warn the crisis is deepening and that cross-border displacement will keep rising without international support.

The number of Sudanese refugees crossing into Chad is rising sharply, with arriving refugees reporting rape and abductions during their flight. The influx adds pressure on humanitarian operations in eastern Chad, which already hosts large numbers displaced by Sudan's civil war. Aid agencies and regional observers are voicing concern about the safety of civilians fleeing the conflict.

Sudanese refugees in the Ouré-Cassoni camp in eastern Chad are facing worsening conditions after cuts to humanitarian funding. Aid reductions are limiting food, healthcare and basic services for people who fled the conflict in Sudan. The situation highlights the wider strain on relief operations across the region as international donors scale back contributions.
