The spokeswoman for the new refugees in the Talloum camp in eastern Chad, Fatima Fadl Al-Jasser, announced the death of four refugees and the infection of 28 others with hepatitis inside the camp.
Al-Jasser reported four miscarriages among women, at a time when the deteriorating health situation forces many refugees to sell their personal belongings to finance their treatment, as a result of the severe shortage of health care and medicines.
The camp, which includes refugees who fled conflicts in Sudan, suffers from a significant absence of medical resources, as Al-Jasser indicated that the camp’s health center does not have a delivery room and suffers from a shortage of basic medicines.
Al-Jasser explained that Doctors Without Borders provided only half of the medication needs, which is considered insufficient to confront the worsening health crisis, which led to some refugees being forced to return to Sudan despite the seriousness of the security situation there.
Refugees face difficulties in securing drinking water, as it requires walking for three hours to obtain water, at a time when the region is experiencing the rainy season, and the camp lacks the necessary materials for shelter.
Al-Jasser called on the High Commissioner for Refugees and humanitarian organizations to intervene urgently to improve conditions in the camp, especially in the areas of health care and the provision of medicines and water, to prevent the worsening of the difficult humanitarian conditions.
Talloum camp is located in Madaba state in eastern Chad, about 60 kilometers from the Sudanese border, and its population is estimated at about 45,000 refugees, most of whom are from the Darfur region in western Sudan.
