Boys on horses ride through the Ambelia refugee camp as a storm approaches on April 20, 2024, in Adré, Chad. Since the beginning of the recent conflict between the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces and the Sudanese Armed Forces, in March 2023, more than 600,000 new refugees have crossed the border from Darfur, Sudan, into Chad. The total number of refugees, including those from previous conflicts, now stands at 1.2 million. Aid agencies, already struggling with acute supply shortages, have warned that the lifesaving programs in Chad will "grind to a halt in a matter of weeks without urgent funding." Chad is now home to one of the largest and fastest-growing refugee populations in Africa. #
