Countries: Chad, Sudan Source: International Organization for Migration Please refer to the attached file. Returnees are Chadian nationals who were living in Sudan and have been displaced back to their home country, where they lack the resources to rebuild their lives. Returnees are living either in displacement sites or within host communities. They are in urgent need of food, water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), shelter, household items (NFIs), healthcare and protection. IOM is the lead agency for the returnee response, in close coordination with the Government of Chad, local authorities, other UN agencies, and local and international NGOs. From IOM and UNHCR data, 1,311,982 people have crossed into Chad since the onset of the crisis in Sudan, of which 398,815 are Chadian returnees as of 30 April 2026. IOM expects this number to rise to 400,000 by June 2026 due to the ongoing conflict and food insecurity in Darfur.
