STORYLINE
Over 50 people who fled conflict in Sudan have found shelter in Fatna Hamid’s home. Many Chadians like Fatna are opening their doors to Sudanese refugees arriving in Chad. Over 320,000 refugees have crossed into the country’s east since conflict began in April.
Over 4 million people have been displaced within Sudan and into neighboring countries since fighting broke out in Sudan.
In Chad, over 320,000 refugees have sought refuge in the country’s east. Local residents like Fatna Hamid, are opening their doors to welcome refugees despite their own difficult living conditions. The 44-year-old mother of five says she has hosted over 50 people in her home in Koufroune village.
As a single mother herself, Fatna says she can relate to the plight of mothers fleeing alone with their children. She also knows some of those arriving in the country as she trades with communities on the border with Sudan.
Fatime Mahmoud Adoum, 30, and her husband and five children are among the Sudanese refugees staying with Fatna.
After losing friends and family to the violence back in Darfur, and seeing homes burned to the ground, Fatime has no hope of returning to Sudan any time soon. She wants to start a new life for her children and enroll them in school.
UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency and partners have started emergency assistance and relocation of refugees to an existing refugee camp, about 50 kilometers away from the border.
The needs remain high given the number of new refugees arriving in Chad. A new site is being identified where more refugees can be hosted.
UNHCR is deeply worried about deteriorating health conditions in refugee camps in Sudan as well as border entry points and transit centres in neighboring countries where people forced to flee are arriving. Fifty-seven children, the majority being under five years old, have died from measles and malnutrition in Renk in South Sudan. Of these, 15 died in the last week alone.
In Chad, only 17 mobile clinics are operational across 15 locations where people are arriving. Over 2,300 wounded refugees and returnees have so far arrived, requiring urgent medical attention, with approximately 130 casualties admitted daily in June.
Together with health partners and government authorities, UNHCR is making efforts to scale up the response, deploying additional staff and volunteers in camps, border entry points and transit centers to support malnutrition screening and other services. We are also providing medical kits, increasing measles vaccinations for children, and rehabilitating existing facilities while setting up new ones.
