Chad: Crisis intensifies as temperatures soar and population surge
  • The humanitarian crisis in Chad is intensifying as soaring temperatures and a surge in the population of Sudanese refugees, now totaling 860,000, exacerbate the struggle for clean water. With the rainy season approaching, conditions are expected to deteriorate further, impacting both refugees and local communities. Harold Girard reports on the dire situation.
  • This development highlights the urgent need for international assistance as Chad, already facing its own challenges, becomes a refuge for those fleeing violence in Sudan. The influx of refugees is straining resources and complicating the humanitarian landscape.
  • The situation reflects a broader regional crisis, as the ongoing civil war in Sudan has led to mass displacement and severe humanitarian needs. Reports indicate that nearly two-thirds of Sudan's population requires aid, underscoring the interconnectedness of these crises and the pressing call for global attention and action.
