epa11267332 Sudanese refugees wait for their turns to fetch water from wells made available by the NGO Doctors Without Borders (MSF) at the Farchana refugee camp near the East Chad Sudan border, 07 April 2024.(Issued 09 April 2024). Some 47.000 people live in the Farchana camp, each individual in this camp has access to less than 8 liters per person. Lack or poor access to water is one of the many consequences of the humanitarian crises provoked the war in neighbouring Sudan which started on 15 April 2023. According to the UNHCR in March 2024, in one year more than 500,00 Sudanese refugees, mainly from Darfur region, have crossed into Chad looking for safety, 90 percent of them are women and children. As different humanitarian crises are unfolding in other parts of the world, both the UN and NGOs like MSF keep appealing for more aid to reach Sudan and avoid a looming famine situation in the already strained socio-economic context of Chad.
