Chad: Humanitarian situation overview - April 2021
Format
In Chad, 5.5 million people, or nearly one in three people, need urgent humanitarian assistance. Food insecurity and malnutrition affect more than 4.7 million people, including 1.1 million in its severe form. The nutritional situation remains worrying, with a prevalence of global acute malnutrition (GAM) of 10 per cent and of severe acute malnutrition (SAM) of 2.1 per cent, with disparities between provinces. About 1.9 million children under 5 are affected by acute malnutrition, including more than 400,000 severe cases.
Today, 1.7 million people are affected by health emergencies, including children, pregnant and breastfeeding women. This is due to limited access to basic social services (such as drinking water, sanitation, and primary health care) as well as to the emergence of epidemic diseases. From January to the end of February 2021, nearly 300 cases of measles including two deaths were reported as well as over 111,000
