Every day, hundreds of people cross the border from Sudan into Chad, searching for safety. They’re escaping a brutal civil war in Sudan which has been raging since April of 2023. In the conflict, men have routinely been rounded up and killed. Women have been raped. Homes and villages have been raided and destroyed. The conflict has forced 10.5 million people from their homes. More than 600,000 of those refugees have ended up in Eastern Chad. For many, their first stop is an area of open desert near the town of Adre. More than 200,000 people are living there right now. Shelters are made of sticks covered with scarves or plastic. Aid groups are distributing meager food and water but it’s nowhere near the standard set for an official camp.
In this documentary, producer Elizabeth Hoath introduces you to a few of the people who are living in these terrible conditions. You’ll hear about what they escaped, and what they’re planning for the future. Then we travel to an official camp to meet women who are survivors of gender based violence. Sexual violence has been used as a tool in the war in Sudan but the women who managed to escape, are still not safe.
Produced by Elizabeth Hoath with help from Joan Webber/Originally aired on The Current.
