Chad
Why Chad? A complex crisis driven by armed conflict, hunger, health crises, and climate change has left nearly one third of Chadians in need of humanitarian assistance. Since April 2023, that crisis has only deepened with an influx of refugees fleeing conflict in neighbouring Sudan.
Nearly one-third of Chad requires humanitarian assistance
Approximately 6 million Chadians will require humanitarian assistance in 2024. This large amount of humanitarian need in Chad has been driven by both local and international conflict, combined with an ongoing hunger crisis, an overwhelmed public health sector, and the consequences of climate change.
Chad is now one of the largest host communities in the world, hosting 1.1 million refugees, many of whom have fled conflict in neighbouring Sudan. In February 2024, the Government of Chad declared a food security and nutrition emergency, with the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) projecting that approximately 17% of the country are facing hunger.
