5,000 Chadian migrants stranded in Cameroon desperately awaiting assistance to return to Chad
There are currently circa 5,000 Chadians in the transit sites of Garoua Boulai and Kentzou as well as other locations in the border areas of Cameroon with CAR.
In Garoua Boulai transit site, IOM has registered a total of 1,091 stranded migrants of whom 1,062 have claimed to be of Chadian nationality, while the remaining migrants (29) are of other third country nationals (TCNs).
The transit sites in Garoua Boulai and Kentzou being initially set-up to accommodate only 500 arrival each, the current caseloads have surpassed their capacities by 200% in Garoua Boulai and 400% in Kentzou respectively. This is making the access to the available services to meet their basic needs in the transit sites extremely limited.
