A multitude of individuals escaping the conflict in Sudan have crossed into Chad, where many find themselves in densely populated camps located in the eastern town of Adré.
These camps are grappling with severe challenges, including shortages of food, water, sanitary facilities, shelter, and medical care.
In Adré's improvised field hospital, volunteer physicians are working tirelessly to provide care. Dr. Nour al-Sham reports, "The majority of our patients are suffering from malaria, eye infections, respiratory illnesses, and malnutrition. The field hospital we operate in is quite small, and we need to expand the space."
The overcrowded living conditions in the camp, coupled with Chad's rainy season and inadequate access to water and sanitation, create an environment ripe for the spread of diseases.
Adam Bakht, an old man, and the other 200,000 refugees in the community have been awaiting medical attention in agony.
"I have diabetes, asthma, and allergies. They only gave me an injection to ease the pain. My diabetes medication is supposed to arrive in three days, but for my asthma they told me to buy an inhaler from outside the camp, " he said.
