Darfur, a region in Sudan, has been plagued by conflict and displacement for more than a decade. Escaping violence and atrocities, families have sought refuge across the border in Chad, where humanitarian organizations have established camps to provide them with essential necessities.

Even before the rainy season, the living conditions in the refugee camps were far from ideal. Basic necessities such as clean water, shelter, and medical care were in short supply. The rainy season compounds these challenges, bringing torrential floods and muddy terrain. The makeshift shelters offer little protection against the rain, leaving the refugees vulnerable to the elements.

As stagnant water accumulates in the camps, the risk of waterborne diseases increases significantly. Sanitation facilities are insufficient to cater to the growing population, leading to concerns about the spread of illnesses like cholera and malaria. Adequate medical assistance and supplies are essential to mitigate these health risks.
