Sudan: Sudanese Refugees Walk 20km for Aid in Eastern Chad
[Dabanga] Eastern Chad -- Dozens of Sudanese refugees have walked from Marra refugee camp in eastern Chad to the town of Amliouna to demand humanitarian assistance, as heavy rain and strong winds have also damaged shelters at Mile refugee camp near the town of Guéréda in eastern Chad.
In eastern Chad, Sudanese refugees have walked 20 kilometers from Mile refugee camp to Amliouna town, demanding humanitarian assistance. They departed earlier this month due to the lack of food and cash aid for four months. The journey occurred in heavy rain and strong winds that damaged the refugee camp's shelters and injured some individuals.
Ishaq Adam, a refugee, recounted the storm's destruction of tents and loss of belongings. He appealed for urgent aid, including food, clean water, medicines, and shelter materials. This incident follows a similar protest by Kaga refugee camp residents last year, when they walked 55 kilometers to Farchana to voice their concerns.
