It&#8217;s really catastrophic.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>WFP wants $142.7 million for the next six months to feed all crisis-affected populations in Chad, including refugees, the 380,000 internally displaced, and other Chadians who have been hit by extreme weather in recent years.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If no further funding is received, food assistance will come to a 100 percent halt in May 2023 for both refugees and internally displaced,&#8221; the agency said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>Chad is facing its fourth consecutive year of very high severe food insecurity.<\/p>\n<p>The country suffered the worst lean season in a decade last year, plus the most devastating floods in 30 years. WFP said there were 1.9 million people in Chad who are food insecure.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the UN refugee agency said it was looking to raise $172.5 million to provide protection and relief assistance to one million forcibly displaced people and their hosts in Chad.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That is just 15 percent funded so we desperately need money for that country,&#8221; UNHCR spokesman Matthew Saltmarsh told reporters.<\/p>\n<p>He said the agency was encouraging Nigeria and Chad to look at voluntary returns of refugees.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The numbers envisaged might be relatively modest but we think this is an important signal in terms of finding solutions for the displaced in Chad but also for the region.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The United Nations warned Friday that it would no longer be able to feed 600,000 refugees in Chad within weeks unless it receives urgent international funding.
