STORYLINE
United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, Filippo Grandi is pushing for further international support for Chad with over 400,000 people escaping from war-torn Sudan cross into Chad.
During a four-day visit to Chad, alongside the World Bank Managing Director for Operations Anna Bjerde, Grandi witnessed the dire humanitarian situation unfolding on the ground and called for more international support to address the urgent needs of displaced people and their hosts.
SOUNDBITE (English) Filippo Grandi, United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees:
“We estimate that we need four to five more new sites to disengage this population and bring it to a safer place and I am here on a joint visit with the World Bank, why? Because the World Bank is the prime development institution, and we must not just look at the short-term humanitarianism, which is the short term but also the medium-term, education investment, livelihood. Support to the host communities that are making a big sacrifice hosting people here. And this is why we are looking at both short and long term together with the World Bank during this very important visit.”
Four months of conflict in neighbouring Sudan has forced over 400,000 people across the border to Chad in search of safety. Majority are in Ouaddaï, Sila, and Wadi Fira provinces. Most arrivals are women and children, underscoring the critical nature of the situation and the specific needs.
Refugees, scarred by the traumas of their perilous journeys are arriving in desperate condition, particularly in the border town of Adre, which hosts over 220,000 refugees in a spontaneous settlement.
Abla Hussein and her family recently fled fighting in Khartoum and made it to El Geneina before crossing to Chad. Abla was pregnant at the time and gave birth two weeks before they arrived in Chad. The family was forced to pay armed men, so they could cross the border. They now live in a school.

“During the war I was pregnant, I gave birth later, by the time I got out of El Geneina the baby was two weeks old, it was difficult on the way here, when we came to the camp also the situation was difficult. This is why we are here.”
While humanitarian actors have made considerable efforts to ensure access to basic services such as health, water, sanitation and food, the response remains underfunded, making it difficult to address the urgent needs of refugees and their hosts.
SOUNDBITE (Arabic) Abakar Abdurahman Hussein Mohamed, Sudanese Refugee:
“The difficulties we faced from El Geneina to Adre was that we had to pay for a car to bring us here, along the way, we saw dead bodies and many people being killed, and we also had to pay armed men to cross the border and get to Adre.”

Since the influx began, UNHCR and its partners have relocated over 175,000 refugees to secure accommodation sites. However, in Adre alone, there are more than 150,000 people awaiting urgent relocation. The relocation of those in Adre and other border zones will depend on availability of resources.
Over 5.2 million people have been displaced by the conflict in Sudan, including over 400,000 refugees in Chad, the largest host. But so far only about US $207.3 million has been received against total requirements of US $1 billion for the regional refugee response.
