The escalating violence in Sudan is forcing tens of thousands of people across its border with Chad. This is a crisis on top of a crisis. And there is little funding to support people who need it most. Prior to this conflict, the humanitarian need was already significant due to food shortages, heavy rains, and other challenging conditions.

ShelterBox is providing thousands of people with emergency shelter, basic household items, and critical infrastructure support.

ShelterBox has been working in Zabout refugee camp, a newly established camp that will support 7,000 families. Earlier this year ShelterBox provided tents, tarpaulins and fixings, as well as solar lights, blankets, mosquito nets, kitchen sets, sleeping mats, water carriers and more to support newly located refugees. Currently, teams are working on providing an additional 2600 families with tarpaulins to build shelters.

The situation is critical, as more and more people continue to flee Sudan to neighbouring countries – including Chad. The shelter need is growing all the time.
