We need cacophony to end & peace to prevail. From Gaza, Ukraine, Sudan to DR Congo and Myanmar, it's not too late.

11 months later, the border town of Adre 🇹🇩 is again overwhelmed by more than 180,000 refugees, most with no belongings. And more refugees arrive daily. Chad RRRP is only funded at 6%! Not enough funds to help “sur place” nor to open new sites. A catastrophy at our doorsteps.
