The article describes a humanitarian disaster in eastern Chad, particularly in the town of Tiné, where over 30,000 individuals fleeing violence in Sudan's Darfur have arrived. Many have suffered severe mistreatment during their journey and face dire conditions in Tiné with shortages of essential resources. The lack of international aid exacerbates the crisis, resulting from previous cuts to foreign assistance. The situation is further complicated by ongoing conflicts in Sudan, specifically involving militant groups like RSF, which intensify the dire need for humanitarian support.
In Tiné, a barren desert town in eastern Chad, the first humanitarian crisis of the post-American world is now unfolding.
Thousands of people fleeing the civil war in Sudan's Darfur region have recently arrived there after enduring long journeys in relentless, 100-degree heat.
According to aid workers on the ground, more than 30,000 people have arrived there since regional fighting intensified in mid-April, and more than 3,500 are now arriving every day.
The RSF tightened its siege of El-Fasher, the largest city in North Darfur, and began shelling Zamzam itself.
