Chad has begun the emergency relocation of refugees from its border with Sudan, amid ongoing conflict between the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and the Sudanese Army. The army is preparing to deploy to the area in response to cross-border attacks. Initial refugee relocation operations will involve around 2,300 people, more than half of whom are women and children. The conflict in Sudan has periodically spilled into Chadian territory causing casualties and property damage. However, refugees continue to arrive due to the intense fighting on the southern side.
