"Remittances, which half of the households in Chad's western and southwestern regions of Kanem and Bahr el Ghazal used to receive, are down by 57 percent, according to a survey by NGOs Oxfam and Action Against Hunger (ACF). Households on average were sent US$220 per month."

After finding that one in four children under five in Western Chad suffered from acute malnutrition, ACF scaled up its treatment programs. Already supporting 33 nutrition centers in the arid Kanem and Bahr El Ghazal regions, Action Against Hunger extended its programs to an additional 10 health centers in areas with soaring malnutrition rates. This significantly increased the accessibility and quality of care for severely malnourished children.

But they said many things were lacking: Apart from better security, they needed more tents, more blankets, and containers to store drinking water."
