Chad — Emergency Tracking Tool Report 166 (April 2023)

The purpose of the Emergency Tracking Tool (ETT) is to collect information on large and sudden population movements as well as on security and climate emergencies. This dashboard provides information on movements which occurred during the period from 01 to 30 April 2023, in Lac Province. 

During the period of April 2023, a large number of incidents were observed in the Lake province, resulting in an increased number of displacements. A total of 2,537 households (10,445 individuals) have been affected by displacement, which corresponds to an increase of 33 per cent compared to the month of March 2023. Furthermore, most of these persons (68%) were previously displaced before these new displacements. It should be noted that these displacements were mainly caused by armed attacks (45%) and preventive displacement (42%). Indeed, 80 per cent of displaced individuals took refuge in localities situated in the same sub-prefectures as their provenance (see Table 1). The most reported urgent needs were food (33%), non-food items (25%), water (21%) and shelter (21%).
