Mothers fleeing Darfur face starvation under trees in Chad
Many mothers and children fleeing conflict in Sudan's Darfur region are struggling with hunger under trees in neighbouring Chad, according to Al Jazeera. Aid groups warn that the basic needs of refugees crossing the border are going unmet.
Reporting from the ground, Al Jazeera says many families fleeing violence in Sudan's Darfur region have crossed the border into neighbouring Chad. Unable to find shelter, mothers and children are struggling to survive in the shade of trees under searing heat.
According to the report, the scale of the refugee influx far exceeds the available aid capacity. Access to food, clean water and health care is extremely limited. Aid groups warn that malnutrition is becoming widespread, particularly among young children, and that the situation has turned life-threatening.
International organisations are calling for more humanitarian assistance to reach the area. Funding shortfalls and access difficulties are hampering relief efforts. As the conflict in Sudan continues, the number of refugees crossing the border is expected to rise.
