| Contesto | The conflict that erupted in Sudan in 2023 has forced more than 880’000 refugees and roughly 330’000 Chadian returnees to flee into eastern Chad, further exacerbating an already fragile humanitarian situation (UNHCR Sudan Arrivals Update, 12 October 2025). Since 2003, the conflict in Sudan has driven repeated waves of displacement, leading to the establishment of refugee camps and the arrival of refugees in host villages across the region. In the Ouaddaï province, over 500’000 Sudanese refugees are living in extremely difficult conditions, with critical shortages of health, water, and sanitation services. This fragile context brings together long-term refugees, recent arrivals, internally displaced persons, and host communities - all facing compounded challenges of food insecurity, climatic shocks, and limited access to essential services. |

MSF closely coordinates with humanitarian stakeholders present in Eastern Chad, including UN organisations and international non-governmental organisations. Local health authorities, such as the Ministry of Health are actively involved in planning and implementing activities. The project builds on and complements ongoing collaboration between SDC and MSF in Eastern Chad, in particular the deployment of experts of the Swiss Humanitarian Aid for the analysis of water resources as well as the supervision of a drilling campaign in Adré and Aboutengué camp. |
