Highlights:The recent clashes around El Fasher, in the Zamzam and Abou Shouk camps for internally displaced persons (IDPs), have resulted in an influx of refugees into Chad since April 15. As of May 29, 2025, at least 70,492 new refugees have arrived in the Wadi Fira and Ennedi Est provinces.According to the UNHCR, in recent days, the majority of refugees arrived via Adré, after a long journey from Zamzam via Kasan, Nyala, El Geneina and Adikong, then Tine and Oure Cassoni. Despite the high cost, they prefer this route, which they consider safer than the Zamzam-Tawila-Tine route, where they report high risks: kidnappings, searches, robberies, physical violence, rape, and other inhumane treatment.Since the beginning of the conflict in Sudan on 15 April 2023, and as of end of May 2025, the Chadian government, UNHCR, and the International Organization for Migration (IOM) have registered 851,687 refugees and 273,654 Chadian returnees. 61 per cent of the refugees and 68 per cent of the returnees are children under 18.In Sudan, an attack on a humanitarian convoy resulted in the deaths of five aid workers. The incident occurred on June 2, 2025, near Al Koma, close to the city of El Fasher in North Darfur. The convoy, consisting of 15 trucks operated by the World Food Programme (WFP) and UNICEF, was on its way to deliver lifesaving food and nutrition supplies to children and families in famine-stricken El Fasher when it was ambushed. This incident could lead to an increased influx of refugees into Chad.According to UNHCR, 66 per cent of school-aged children are currently not enrolled in any form of education.In addition to the renewed spread of measles outbreaks and suspected meningitis cases in refugee-hosting health districts, there is a high risk of a cholera epidemic. The Federal Emergency Operations Center in Sudan has reported a sharp increase in cholera cases, with 2,729 cases and 172 deaths recorded in just one week. During the last three weeks of May 2025, the Sudanese Ministry of Health had already reported 51 cholera-related deaths.
