Overview
More than 4.3 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance in Chad, mostly because of chronic poverty, conflict, food insecurity, and malnutrition, particularly in the Sahelian zone in the north.?
Security threats around Lake Chad, most notably from Boko Haram (BH), and military operations to contain them have driven civilians from their homes and disrupted livelihoods. Insecurity has also pushed Nigerian refugees into Chad since 2014, creating a complex displacement crisis across the islands and shores of Lake Chad. Large and protracted refugee populations, mainly from Sudan and CAR, in the south and east of the country also face significant humanitarian needs. ?
Regional instability coupled with a severe economic crisis has challenged the country, however recent harvests have contributed to the country's food security.?A measles outbreak beginning May 2018 continues and has intensified in 2019. As of December 2019, 25,916 cases including 255 deaths were identified in 7 of the country's districts.?
Latest Developments
On 21 April, heavy rains affected a returnee site in Maïngama, Moyen-Chari region in southern Chad. Rains damaged or destroyed the shelters of nearly 6,000 of the 10,000 people living at the site ( over 60% of shelters on site). One person was killed and 61 were injured. Many affected households are staying with family or neighbours but more than 2,000 people are staying in the open, most of them women and children. Priority needs are shelter and NFIs, support to local health centres and immediate food assistance for the affected population – especially children under five and pregnant women, hygiene kits and clean water.?
The situation of Chadian returnees living in Logone Oriental, Moyen-Chari, Mandoul, and Salamat regions has been deteriorating for almost four years. Around 117,000 returnees are estimated in Chad, including some 70,000 living in host sites and villages in the south of the country.
