Tina, Chad – The humanitarian situation is worsening for Sudanese refugees arriving at the Chadian border, fleeing the ongoing conflict in North Darfur. A steady influx of individuals and families are seeking refuge in Chad, overwhelming existing resources and infrastructure.
New arrivals are currently being housed in a temporary camp in the border town of Tina. The camp is intended as a short-term solution, with plans to relocate the refugees to more permanent camps approximately five kilometers from the border within weeks. However, conditions within the temporary camp are already strained, with limited access to clean water, sanitation, and adequate shelter.
DZWatch reporters on the ground have observed a growing sense of desperation among the displaced population. Many have endured harrowing journeys, witnessing violence and suffering significant losses. The lack of basic necessities is exacerbating their trauma and increasing vulnerability to disease and exploitation.
The international community is being urged to provide urgent assistance to address the immediate needs of the refugees and support the Chadian government in managing the influx. The long-term impact of the displacement crisis on both the refugees and the host communities remains a significant concern. Sustained humanitarian aid and a peaceful resolution to the conflict in Sudan are crucial to alleviating the suffering and ensuring a stable future for the region.
The situation is further complicated by limited funding for humanitarian operations in the region, hindering efforts to provide comprehensive support to the displaced populations.
