This week, I visited the camps in eastern Chad to witness the living conditions of Sudanese refugees.
I have worked as a humanitarian worker in countries across the globe, but what I saw in Chad in this emergency has shocked me to my core.
With such a rapid and vast displacement of people fleeing harrowing violence, the overwhelming nature of how many people have sought refuge here and knowing what made them flee is really hard on the heart.
So many people seeking refuge in the desert are relying on humanitarian aid, which is inadequate and sporadic. This cannot go on.
Despite the tireless efforts of humanitarian organisations and the welcoming gestures from the host communities and the government of Chad, the situation is close to catastrophic.
From insufficient access to food, water and shelter, to concerns about proper hygiene, it’s a daily struggle for those who have left almost everything behind. Approximately 150,000 individuals in Adre transit camp and the surrounding areas live week to week, navigating through precarious conditions to survive.
