The Sudanese civil war has taken a devastating toll on civilians, forcing hundreds of thousands, mostly women, to flee to Chad in search of safety. This conflict has already claimed over 20,000 lives and displaced millions, with estimates suggesting 7.7 million internally displaced and 2.1 million refugees ¹. The situation is dire, with aid groups struggling to provide support in overcrowded displacement sites.

The Conflict’s Background
The war began in April 2023, between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), a paramilitary group led by Hemedti. The conflict has been concentrated around Khartoum and the Darfur region, with multiple factions involved.

Humanitarian Crisis
The humanitarian impact is severe, with reports of widespread violence, including sexual violence and massacres. The international community has attempted to negotiate a ceasefire, but so far, the fighting continues.

Displacement and Refugee Crisis
The influx of refugees into Chad has put immense pressure on local resources and aid organizations. The UN and other humanitarian groups are working to provide essential services, but the needs are overwhelming.
