High mortality and violence among refugees and returnees from Sudan in Chad, 2023| Erica Simons

High mortality and violence among refugees and returnees from West Darfur, Sudan arriving in Chad, 2023: results from three retrospective mortality surveys
Fighting erupted on 15 April 2023 in Sudan between the army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces. By September 2023, more than 420,000 people had fled to Chad. To describe the health status of the displaced populations in camps in eastern Chad, several surveys were realised. The surveys presented here describe crude and under five mortality rates, reported causes of death and frequency and type of violence events experienced by displaced populations in three camps in eastern Chad.
