UN AGENCY PREPOSITIONS FOR DARFUR REFUGEES IN CHAD AHEAD OF RAINY SEASON DETAILS OF THE MOVE OF REFUGEES

The weather in Chad varies from oneregion to the other. In the
northern regions of Chad, climate is usually very warm and dry. The
other regions are mostly wet regions where humidity is very high. In
the southern portions of Chad rainy season starts from the month of
May and continues till the month of October. The rainy season begins
inJune and ends in the month of September in the central Chad region.
The Effect of the Winds on the Climate of Chad
The seasonal changes take place due to the different atmospheric
pressures and winds. The maritime winds blowing across the Atlantic
Ocean and the dry continental windsinfluence the climate of the
countryof Chad. During the rainy months south-westerly winds force the
moisture -laden maritime winds to move towards the north of Chad. The
movement of the continental winds towards the southern regions of Chad
brings about the rainfall.
Weather Conditions in the Major Regions of Chad
There are three important regions inChad, which are namely the
Saharanregion, Soudanian region and the Saheli region. The Sahara
region is very dry and arid. The region is marked with scanty
vegetation including shrubs, herbs and cactus trees. The Saheli region

UN AGENCY PREPOSITIONS FOR DARFUR REFUGEES IN CHAD AHEAD OF RAINY
SEASONNew York, May 17 2013 3:00PMWith tens of thousands of Darfur
refugees in eastern Chad, the United Nations refugee agency today said
it is "in a race against time" to deliver aid before heavy rains cut
off access to the group escaping violence linked to tribal conflicts.

The UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) has prepositioned enough aid in the area
to cover the needs of 3,000 families and additional supplies are
underway to cover the needs of another 4,000 from a regional stockpile
in Douala, Cameroon, spokesperson Dan McNorton
<"http://www.unhcr.org/5196227f6.html">told journalists in Geneva.

Almost 30,000 people – mainly women and children – recently fled
communal violence in North and West Darfur, Sudan, for Tissi, a remote
and volatile area on the border between Darfur and the Central African
Republic (CAR).

An average of 300 people continue to cross the border into Tissi every
day, and more are on the way "but armed groups are preventing them
from crossing," the spokesperson said quoting comments from recent
refugees.

"They say that they fled because people were killed during the
violence and that many houses were torched by armed men," Mr. McNorton
said, adding that they urgently need shelter, food, water and medical
assistance.

Roads to Tissi are impassable during the May to November rainy season,
Mr. McNorton said, and the first downpours have already started.

"Due to the rains, we are in a race against time. Road transport
between Doula and Tissi takes 20 days. To speed up the delivery of aid
UNHCR plans to hire a helicopter," Mr. McNorton said.

He noted that UNHCR relocated about 1,500 refugees from Tissi to Goz
Amir, a camp about 250 kilometres north, and provided them with
shelter, food and household items. Additional transfers were halted
due to heavy rains.

The agency plan additional relocations once the rainy season is over
and once safe water sources are located on sites identified by the
Government for camps.

"We are working with our partners on rehabilitating some existing
water pumps while we drill boreholes," Mr. McNorton said, as an
alternative to river water which can put refugees at risk for
waterborne diseases.

Darfurian refugees began arriving in Tissi in early April due to
tribal conflicts between Misseriya and Salamat tribes around the Um
Dhukun area of West Darfur. In addition to the Darfur refugees, the
violence also forced almost 20,000 Chadians to cross into Tissi, as
well as 458 refugees from Central African Republic (CAR) who had been
in Darfur for years.May 17 2013 3:00PM
