Seeking safety, seeking sustenance
Since a power struggle between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) erupted into civil war on April 15, 2023, the two sides have plunged the country into a devastating crisis.
Some 10 million people are displaced – the highest figure in the world – and famine-like conditions are taking hold across the country.
About 756,000 people are facing “catastrophic levels of hunger” with an additional 25.6 million people facing acute food shortages, according to the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification, the United Nations’ hunger-level scale.
As a result, people are moving, seeking physical safety and enough food to sustain life, and more than 600,000 have ended up in Chad, according to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).
Many are barely surviving, dependent on food aid from the World Food Programme (WFP).
Sudan is east of Chad.
