Sudan conflict: Over 20 thousand people crossed to Chad
According to the World Food Organisation, the government of Chad and relief agencies require immediate assistance in order to assist thousands of refugees who are entering the nation through nearby Sudan.
Since fighting broke out between the country's army and emergency response forces at the beginning of this month of April, the United Nations has reported that at least 20,000 people have crossed the border from Sudan into Chad.
The need is urgent, according to Pierre Honnorat, the agency's head in Chad, as they won't be able to access the refugee camps for the next six to eight weeks due to the rainy season.
Food and other humanitarian supplies have been given out to the refugees who have arrived at the Adre border since this week's first day.
The country is in a state of turmoil as a result of the fighting, which has been raging for more than two weeks and has turned Khartoum into a battleground.
