Many people in Chad already depended on humanitarian assistance even before the start of the war in Sudan.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Thousands more Sudanese people fleeing the country\u2019s bloody war continue to arrive in neighbouring and impoverished Chad, as the humanitarian situation deteriorates on the ground in the region.<\/p>\n More than 4.3 million Sudanese have fled to neighbouring countries since the start of the civil war in April 2023 between the government-aligned Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), according to the latest data confirmed by the United Nations.<\/p>\n list of 3 items<\/span>end of list<\/span><\/section>\n Sudan is experiencing the world\u2019s worst displacement crisis, with nearly 12 million people forced to run from homes under fire and hunger.<\/p>\n Tens of thousands of Sudanese are believed to be waiting to enter eastern Chad, because they believe it will be safer and they will find food. However, their destination is a country where some seven million people, at least half of them children, already require humanitarian assistance.<\/p>\n Dozens of families continue to arrive in Tine, a border town between Sudan and Chad, daily.<\/p>\n Tine resident Abdulsalam Abubakar told Al Jazeera\u2019s Ahmed Idris that the same money he spent a few days ago at the market to buy food and other essential supplies will no longer buy the same quantity.<\/p>\n \u201cEverything in the market here is expensive; nothing is cheap,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n The food sellers say they are not to blame either, as hugely increased demand during catastrophic wartime conditions is driving up prices.<\/p>\n \u201cNow food is expensive because more than 10,000 Sudanese arrived here after their country disintegrated,\u201d said trader Khadijah Kurgule.<\/p>\n \u201cThere are goods everywhere but people can\u2019t afford them,\u201d she told Al Jazeera.<\/p>\n The thousands who fled the RSF-led mass killings in and around el-Fasher in western Sudan\u2019s Darfur to arrive in Chad over the past few weeks only add to the more than one million people who have entered the country since the start of the Sudanese war.<\/p>\n Al Jazeera\u2019s Idris said the continuous arrival of refugees from Sudan has intensified competition for food, shelter and water.<\/p>\n \u201cHumanitarian aid workers worry that could lead to friction between refugees and host communities,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n At water and aid collection distribution points, long queues have become common, and hospitals and schools are overextended as well.<\/p>\n John-Paul Habamungu, a UNHCR representative working on the ground, said 57 percent of the incoming Sudanese population are school-age children, but there are no schools for them.<\/p>\n \u201cWe don\u2019t have the funding to construct at least temporarily learning spaces. We don\u2019t have the means to recruit teachers,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n The UN has been trying to ease the load by moving several thousand refugees to nearby areas, but aid workers have warned that the worst may yet be approaching as the war in Sudan shows no sign of stopping.<\/p>\n The European Union on Thursday imposed sanctions against Abdul Rahim Hamdan Dagalo, the deputy leader of the RSF and the brother of its leader, Mohamed Hamdan \u201cHemedti\u201d Dagalo, over crimes committed during the storming of el-Fasher.<\/p>\n The sanctions place Dagalo under an EU-wide travel ban, freeze potential assets, and ban him from making indirect or direct profits, and from other resources within the 27-nation bloc, according to the European Commission.<\/p>\n \u201cThis sends a signal that the international community will come after those who are responsible,\u201d EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas told reporters during a news conference on Thursday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Many people in Chad already depended on humanitarian assistance even before the start of the war in Sudan.
