Some 90,000 people have taken refuge in Chad since December 2013, having fled the conflict in the Central African Republic (CAR). The ICRC and the Red Cross of Chad have provided essential items and helped people separated from their families make some 7,000 free telephone calls from N’Djamena, Moundou, Sahr, Goré and Doba.
Moundou transit camp is situated in southern Chad, on the border with Central African Republic.The National Society is also helping to build shelters on the Zafaye site and overseeing sanitation in the camps.
“It’s amazing to see how resilient and resourceful the new arrivals are,” said Linh Schroeder, head of the ICRC delegation in Chad. “They to try to carry on as normal, setting up football grounds and organizing other activities for the children. But their situation is difficult and likely to get worse, especially for those with no relatives or friends to rely on. In addition to the efforts of the Chadian government and the international community, support and solidarity will have to continue if we’re to meet the essential and urgent needs of these thousands of people.”
