Sudan conflict: A year filled with horror

One year.

Thousands missing.

Thousands more dead.

Millions displaced.

It's been a year since the fighting first began and the people of Sudan continue to endure a devastating humanitarian crisis. From Chad to Khartoum, fighting in parts of the country is putting lives at risk.

A spontaneous settlement in Adré, a Chadian border town of 12,000 inhabitants, has become a makeshift home to the Sudanese refugees.

Almost 90 per cent of the refugees here are women and children who crossed the border on foot and have come to Eastern Chad. They were fleeing brutal violence that submerged their native Darfur, soon after the conflict broke out last year in April.

The number of people who arrived here with nothing — an estimated 200,000 Sudanese refugees — is more than tenfold the size of the local population. They now live in precarious shelters that offer little protection against the heat and the rain.
