"Sudan is experiencing the world's worst displacement crisis, with nearly 12 million people forced to run from homes under fire and hunger. Tens of thousands of Sudanese are believed to be waiting to enter eastern Chad, because they believe it will be safer and they will find food. However, their destination is a country where some seven million people, at least half of them children, already require humanitarian assistance."
"Tine resident Abdulsalam Abubakar told Al Jazeera's Ahmed Idris that the same money he spent a few days ago at the market to buy food and other essential supplies will no longer buy the same quantity. Everything in the market here is expensive; nothing is cheap, he said. The food sellers say they are not to blame either, as hugely increased demand during catastrophic wartime conditions is driving up prices."
Chad already had many people dependent on humanitarian assistance before the Sudan war began. Thousands of Sudanese fleeing the April 2023 civil war between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces are arriving in Chad, worsening regional humanitarian pressures. More than 4.3 million have fled to neighbouring countries and nearly 12 million are displaced inside Sudan. Tens of thousands wait to enter eastern Chad seeking safety and food, while Chad hosts around seven million people already requiring aid. Market prices have surged as demand outstrips purchasing power, leaving goods unavailable to many.
