BACKGROUND
Chad's Lake Province, located on the northern edge of the lake, is made up of flooded land (open water and marshes), flood-prone land (islands, shores and their immediate hinterland) and ‘terra firma’ (or mainland, dune zone). In socio-economic terms, the Lake Province is one of the most vulnerable areas in Chad, with a high population growth rate and a very young population (almost 51% are under 15 years old). Forced population displacement, food insecurity and malnutrition, health emergencies and the effects of climate change continue to mark the humanitarian situation in the Lake province, against a backdrop of insecurity preventing humanitarian access to certain areas and an increase in protection incidents. In 2024, Chad's Lake Province will still have around 261,672 internally displaced people. These displacements are mainly due to attacks by the armed groups mentioned above and to extreme climatic shocks, such as flooding
These displacements are mainly due to attacks by the armed groups mentioned above and to extreme climatic shocks, such as floods. The latter have exacerbated already precarious living conditions and increased the need for humanitarian aid.
