As the refugee crisis in Chad continues to grow, international attention on the situation remains limited in the face of numerous other global humanitarian challenges.
ADRE , Chad — The roads are unpaved. Children are playing with old tires. And adults are trying to figure out what's next. A refugee settlement in Chad, near the country's border with Sudan, is a clear sign of a growing humanitarian crisis that is affecting the region.
"I watched dozens of displaced persons from Sudan stream across the border into Chad," Thomas-Greenfield said."Women with nothing but babies on their backs."The refugee camp in the Chad town of Adré covers hundreds of yards filled with small dwellings and huts.Once they arrive in Chad, though, they face new challenges. Shelter, water and food are hard to come by.
"The numerous reports of rape, gang rape, and other forms of gender-based violence against women and girls in West Darfur and other areas are deeply disturbing. These acts of brutality contribute to an emerging pattern of targeted ethnic violence."
