Over a million Sudanese refugees put pressure on eastern Chad’s hospitals

Healthcare services in eastern Chad are facing an unprecedented crisis as more than 1.5 million refugees, fleeing conflict in neighbouring Sudan, strain the region's fragile system.
Hospitals in areas like Iriba and Tine are overwhelmed, struggling with limited staff, resources, and bed space.
In Tine, a drone strike three weeks ago killed 27 people and injured dozens, further exposing the dire situation and forcing hospitals to transfer critically wounded patients elsewhere.
Aid organisations, including Doctors Without Borders, are providing much-needed assistance, but dwindling donor funds and limited capacity complicate their efforts.
With poor nutrition, inadequate access to clean water, and only 4 litres of water provided daily per refugee, a figure far below the World Health Organisation's recommended 20 litres, a potential outbreak of disease looms, threatening both refugees and local communities.
Even before the 2023 surge in arrivals, Chad's healthcare systems were nearing collapse due to shortfalls in workers, facilities, and supplies. Now, the crisis threatens to push them over the edge.
