- Flow Monitoring
- Over 500,000 people have crossed into Chad since the onset of the crisis in Sudan. IOM estimates that more than 80,986 among them are Chadian returnees and expects this number to rise to 100,000 in the coming weeks.
- In coordination with CNARR and humanitarian organizations, IOM has counted 74,049 returnees and counted 238 third-country nationals (from South Sudan, Niger, Ethiopia, the Central African Republic, Burkina Faso, Nigeria and Uganda) in 34 localities in three provinces.
- Most of the returnees currently live in spontaneous locations near the border and are in urgent need of food, water, sanitation and hygiene, shelter, household items, health, and protection.
