| Hintergrund |
Chad hosts the largest number of people fleeing violence in Sudan, from before and as a result of the recent crisis. Since April 2023, 565’000 refugees and 145’000 returnees crossed the border, adding to the 595’000 refugees, who were in Chad already before. One of the urgent needs is the provision of drinking water in the refugee camps and with the host communities. The humanitarian agencies are desperately looking to improve the water distribution systems and to find additional wells, which are able to provide additional water in quality and quantity. |
