What are the impacts of migration – refugees

The Darfur region

Many refugees from Darfur have migrated to neighbouring Chad due to civil war in this part of Sudan. Many have also stayed behind, although they have left their villages and live in refugee camps. This has had a detrimental impact on both countries, and the refugees themselves.

Refugees in Darfur

Refugees are living in cramped and unsanitary conditions, and many have lost family members due to the conflict or from disease. Water is scarce and most rely on aid agencies for food, shelter and medicine. However the aid efforts are being hampered by the Sudanese government, meanwhile people are dying of disease, starvation and malnutrition. Chad is one of the poorest countries in the world, and the refugees from Sudan are putting a strain on already scarce resources. This makes the situation unsustainable environmentally, socially and economically.
