Highlights:
Since the beginning of the Sudan crisis in April 2023, 192,473 refugees arrived in Eastern Chad (UNHCR data, 11 July) as well as 38,100 Chadian returnees (IOM data, 25 June).
90% of the households interviewed said they had encountered no difficulties in accessing the country of asylum and felt integrated into the host community (75%). 65% of households say they have no intention of returning to Sudan, even if the situation improves in the coming months.
88% of households have children who attended school in Sudan, which underlines the importance of supporting the authorities to meet the education needs of refugee children (building classrooms and other educational facilities, recruiting and training teachers).
According to the ongoing UNICEF-WFP-UNHCR evaluation mission, a worrying increase of children with severe acute malnutrition has been reported.
