June 2024

published

10 months ago

Chad hosts more than one million forcibly displaced people, including 580,000 refugees from conflicts in neighbouring Sudan, the Central African Republic and Cameroon. More than 125,000 refugees and asylum seekers from the Central African Republic have fled to Chad escaping different waves of violence since 2005.

Chad is one of the largest operations in the region. With the support of other UN agencies and 40 non-governmental organizations, UNHCR leads and coordinates the refugee response in support of the Government of Chad.

Read UNHCR's latest press release: Chad fears 'very real' prospect of more Sudanese refugee arrivals, needs support (March 2024).
