Chad is a central African country surrounded on all sides; it therefore inherits many of its neighbour's problems. Famine, drought and conflict have all sent refugees over Chad's various borders putting immense strain on the already poor country. There are currently 290,000 refugees in Chad.
The humanitarian crisis has considerably worsened by the recent Sudanese Darfur conflict looming at Chad's eastern border, which has resulted in about 240,000 refugees who are now scattered in 12 camps inside Chad�s borders. In a similar situation, the south has to cope with the influx of 50,000 refugees from the northern region of the Central African Republic living in three camps and villages. Possibly tens of thousands more are fleeing their villages and heading towards the border. Host communities are poor, and resources which were already scarce are now stretched further across this new population.
Added to this, Chad has been facing its own civil war for the last 30 years. The consequences of war are reflected in the socio-economic status of the country, with low level of services including; education, health, access to water and livelihood, high numbers of orphans, widows, disabled, and high mother and children death rates. Over 50,000 Chadian's are internally displaced within their own country as a result of this ongoing conflict.
