Chad

Over 784,000 refugees and returnees have crossed the border from Sudan to Chad. They are living in multiple camps in Chad and are facing difficulties to secure even the most basic needs. With a lack of water, food, proper shelter and healthcare people are suffering from diarrhoea, malnutrition, and other diseases such as malaria.  

MSF teams are responding in three border regions, Sila, Wadi Fira, and Ouaddaï; in the latter, we work in Adré, Metché and Al-Acha camps. Adré alone hosts 180,000 people.

In Chad, we provide basic healthcare, malnutrition screening and treatment, vaccinations, and sexual and reproductive healthcare through existing local health facilities, and mobile clinics. In Adré, we also provide drinking water. In some places, we provide refugee communities with plastic sheeting, mosquito nets and bars of soap,  crucial to prevent the spread of diseases such as malaria or diarrhoea.

South Sudan 

Since the eruption of conflict in Sudan, over 740,000 people have crossed into South Sudan to seek refuge. Nearly eight in 10 are South Sudanese ‘returnees’, those who earlier fled South Sudan for Sudan because of South Sudan’s 2013 – 2020 civil war. Our teams are running emergency activities in Renk, Bulukat and Twic to provide the refugees and returnees with healthcare services through mobile clinics and hospitals. We are also responding in Abyei.
