More than 400,000 people who fled the war in Sudan have found refuge in neighbouring Chad.

On the edge of the small border town of Adré, a huge unsanitary camp has sprung up. Families are living in makeshift shelters made of branches and tarpaulins. Beside them are the meagre belongings they were able to gather before fleeing: a saucepan, some food, a few items of clothing... Often, nothing.
The Chadian authorities and humanitarian workers are overwhelmed by the scale of the crisis.
Many children are showing signs of malnutrition. The hospital in Adré has seen an influx of hundreds of people with bullet wounds.
In Sudan, while attention is mainly focused on the fighting in the capital, Khartoum, the Darfur region, bordering Chad, is the scene of an extreme level of brutality.
In Al Geneina, the capital of West Darfur, the drama was played out behind closed doors, but the accounts of the survivors give a gruesome insight. The testimonies of those who managed to flee tell of the horror.
This new war has reawakened the old demons of ethnic violence. As the conflict drags on, the refugees' hopes of returning home are dwindling.
