Darfur crisis
Decades after Darfur, refugees remain in Chad
It’s been over 10 years since the crisis in Darfur, but ongoing violence has made it difficult for Sudanese refugees in Chad to return home.
In February 2004, the International Rescue Committee deployed an emergency response team to Chad to support Sudanese refugees fleeing violence in Darfur.
Since then, Chad has hosted more than 350,000 Sudanese refugees as the brutal conflict continues. The IRC has been there to support them and the local population with vital resources and other services to make this time of transition as safe and easy as possible.
