How is the war in Sudan affecting neighbouring Chad?

“The hardest thing is not being able to help someone beyond what you are able to do with the little medication you have. You examine your patients but don’t have what you need to solve their medical needs. And that has a psychological effect on me” In today’s podcast, Africa Daily’s Mpho Lakaje hears from healthcare workers trying to assist Sudanese refugees at camps in Chad. There are more than 20 such shelters in eastern Chad, housing at least 400, 000 people. This humanitarian crisis has been triggered by a conflict led by Sudanese army head Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and Rapid Support Forces leader Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, otherwise known as Hemedti. In 2021, the two generals staged a coup, but in recent months they have taken up arms against each other in a power struggle. The civil war has claimed thousands of lives. With the number of Sudanese refugees crossing into Chad expected to reach 600, 000 by the end of 2023, how will the country deal with the influx?
