This joint UNHCR-MMC snapshot examines the protection incidents, needs, and onward movement intentions of new Sudanese arrivals in Eastern Chad, in the arrival hubs of Adre (Ouaddai) and Tine (Wadi Fira).

The snapshot draws upon 611 4Mi surveys conducted in July 2024 in Eastern Chad with people who fled Sudan after the outbreak of conflict. Some 336 interviews were conducted in Adre (55% of respondents) and 275 in Tine (45%). Almost all respondents (99%) were Sudanese nationals, and most were women between the ages of 35-80 years old from Central Darfur.

As of 21 October 2024, Chad hosts over 686,067 new Sudanese refugees, most of whom are women and children (89%). Many Sudanese arriving in Chad are fleeing violence and famine in Darfur, and are being hosted in the Ouaddai (464,756), Sila (93,841), Wadi Fira (86,853) and East-Ennedi (7,046) regions.
