The effects of climate change are intensifying throughout Chad, resulting, among other things, in severe rain and floods that have adverse consequences for already vulnerable people. As of early October, over 977,000 people, were affected by floods in 18 of the 23 provinces of Chad. Floods have destroyed over 465,000 hectares of agricultural land, which risks aggravating the food insecurity situation that is already critical in the country. Humanitarian organizations are providing assistance to affected people, with about 27,000 households having received food assistance and essential household items, leaving about 150,000 households without assistance due to the access constraints. The Joint Flood Response Plan estimates, between October and November, 1.2 million people could be affected by pluvial and riverine flooding and will need diverse assistance. River flooding is anticipated in the next few weeks due to rising lakes and rivers, which may further deteriorate an already alarming situation.
