Kiryari Camp struggles to aid 7000 displaced
The article describes the suffering of Sudanese refugees fleeing the war in Darfur and highlights their ongoing influx into the Kryary camp in eastern Chad. The number of refugees has exceeded 936,000, with a total including returnees reaching over 1.32 million. The camp faces a severe shortage of aid and basic services. Overcrowding is a critical issue, with about 7,000 families arriving in recent weeks. Most of the residents live outdoors without tents or shelter. They face numerous problems, including shortages of food, water, and medicine, along with a long and arduous journey to fetch water, the spread of diseases, and malnutrition—especially among children. There is also a high risk of outbreaks of epidemic diseases such as measles and meningitis, despite vaccination campaigns. The ongoing lack of funding threatens to worsen the crisis, as aid reaches less than half of those in need. The risks of disease transmission and an increasing number of displacements rise with the approaching rainy season, which could lead to a humanitarian disaster if international organizations do not intervene swiftly.
