00:00Adam Moussa Ali is one of many Sudanese refugees who've lived in Chad for over 15 years.
00:07The Farchana camp, once a temporary shelter, has grown into a village.
00:14I've been here in this camp since 2006.
00:16In the beginning there was nothing, no welding, no materials, not even electricity.
00:24I had to rent a generator to start this work and make life easier for the residents.
00:30Back then if something broke, people had to send it for repairs in Andhra.
00:36NGOs operate quietly here, but they're vital.
00:40Farchana heavily relies on aid from the Chadian government and the United Nations.
00:46But that support is gradually shrinking as crises pile up all over the world.
00:52Meanwhile, since 2023, the new war in Sudan has been sending hundreds of thousands more
00:58refugees into Chad.
01:01There used to be more humanitarian aid here, but with the number of crises across Sudan
01:05and the world today, organisations can no longer do as much as before.
01:10This is the single entry point into Chad for Sudanese refugees.
01:15The pressure is growing as dozens more arrive every day in desperate need of humanitarian
01:21aid.
01:23I will take whatever is given to me at this point.
01:27I'd like to join the camp and receive a refugee card.
01:31If I can get money or food, I'll accept it.
01:35Chad's ability to host refugees is being pushed to its limits, as more than 800,000 Sudanese
01:41have arrived in less than two years.
01:46The facilities were originally built to handle a specific number of people and for a limited
01:51time.
01:53So with the arrival of new refugees, these facilities are now saturated.
01:59Two years in, Sudan's war is fueling one of the worst humanitarian crises on the planet
02:05and calls to secure the funding needed to address it are more urgent.
