UN: Over 55,000 flee Sudan to Chad
The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees has witnessed a significant increase in the number of Sudanese fleeing to Chad, with the number of displaced persons exceeding 55,000 since the beginning of the year. The flow continues to accelerate, as over 400 people arrive daily in the Adré and Tine areas in eastern Chad. This situation results from the ongoing armed conflict in Sudan, which began in April 2023 between the army and the Rapid Support Forces. The conflict has caused the deaths of more than 200,000 people, widespread destruction of infrastructure, and increased suffering among the population—particularly in the Darfur, Kordofan, and Blue Nile states—leading to massive internal and external displacement. Humanitarian conditions have deteriorated, with violence against women and girls becoming more prevalent, and humanitarian assistance declining due to a lack of funding, which has reached only 18% of the needed amount. The situation inside Sudan remains critical, with expectations of further displacement waves due to worsening security and environmental conditions in the near future.
