UNHCR's work in Chad: Switzerland for UNHCR CEO visit of shelters
Switzerland for UNHCR
Description
Our CEO in Switzerland was on the ground in eastern Chad, where UNHCR has been responding to the refugee crisis since the war in Sudan began in April 2023. → 900,000 new arrivals since April 2023 → 1.3 million Sudanese refugees now in Chad → UNHCR relocates families from spontaneous sites to organized settlements These settlements provide: ✓ Emergency shelters that refugees can improve while they wait to return home ✓ Access to water, healthcare, and education ✓ Safety and dignity until they can return to Sudan when it's safe The challenge: Funding shortages are slowing our ability to relocate refugees to safer sites.
