Why Chad? Chad is facing a complex crisis driven by regional conflict, climate-related disasters, and health and nutrition crises. Humanitarian needs rose over the last year, with 40% of the country requiring humanitarian assistance.
A worsening crisis has left 7 million in need
Approximately 7 million Chadians — 40% of the country’s population — require humanitarian assistance in 2025. This represents an increase of 1 million people compared to 2024, a year that saw continued violence, political insecurity, climate shocks, and disruptions to humanitarian access.
The country has been affected by ongoing conflict and insecurity across the Sahel region. In tandem with this, Chad is now one of the largest host communities in the world with over 1 million refugees — many of whom arrived in the last two years as a result of the conflict in neighbouring Sudan.
Chad is also on the frontlines of the climate crisis. Last year, all 23 of the country’s provinces were affected by floods resulting from a heavy rainy season, with nearly 1.5 million people affected, 164,000 homes lost, and nearly 250,000 hectares of agricultural land destroyed. These losses have deepened an ongoing hunger crisis, with the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) estimating that 2 million children alone will face malnutrition this year. More than 3.6 million people lack access to clean water and sanitation services, and only 15% of the country’s health centres are functional.
