The United Nations refugee agency reports a 20-fold increase in Sudanese refugees fleeing to Chad, with more than 400 people crossing daily from regions affected by conflict between Sudan's army and paramilitary forces. This surge is exacerbating funding shortages; only 18% of the required $1.6 billion has been received this year, leading to concerns over food supplies and relocation capacity for refugees.

Story summary
UNHCR reported a significant surge in Sudanese refugees fleeing to Chad, increasing twentyfold over recent months with more than 400 individuals crossing into eastern Chad daily. This exodus comes as the conflict between Sudan's army and paramilitary Rapid Support Forces continues, driving civilians from Darfur, Kordofan, and Blue Nile regions to seek safety in neighboring Chad. Since April 2023, over 55,000 Sudanese refugees have fled to Chad this year alone, overwhelming the available humanitarian aid. With only 18% of required $1.6 billion funding received, UNHCR warned that insufficient resources mean less food and shelter for displaced persons, exacerbating an already dire situation.

The agency warned of potential knock-on effects if Sudanese refugees’ basic needs are not met in Chad, saying its analysis shows many move on towards Europe after repeated failed attempts to find safety.
The civil war has devastated wide swathes of Sudan, displacing up to 14 million people, ruining harvests and decimating the economy, according to UN estimates.
Drought and other harsh conditions were also forcing people to move, UNHCR said.
