Dozens of Sudanese refugees have walked from Marra refugee camp in eastern Chad to the town of Amliouna<\/a> to demand humanitarian assistance, as heavy rain and strong winds have also damaged shelters at Mile refugee camp near the town of Gu\u00e9r\u00e9da<\/a> in eastern Chad.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The refugees who left Mile refugee camp on foot say they arrived five to eight months ago but have received neither food nor cash assistance for about four months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One refugee tells Radio Dabanga they are now on their way to the National Commission for Refugee Reception and Registration to lodge their complaint and call for solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The refugees have travelled about 20 kilometres in heavy rain and strong winds that hit the area on Monday evening as they made their way to Amliouna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The move follows a similar action by refugees from Kaga refugee camp in eastern Chad last year, when they walked 55 kilometres to Farchana<\/a> to demand better conditions. The refugees are calling on the authorities concerned to ensure that food or cash assistance is delivered regularly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, heavy rain accompanied by strong winds hit Mile refugee camp in eastern Chad on Monday afternoon, damaging a number of refugees\u2019 shelters and injuring some people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Refugee Ishaq Adam tells Radio Dabanga the storm destroyed a large number of tents and swept away everything inside them. Some refugees were injured, he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adam says the storm was the second to hit the camp during August, leaving large numbers of refugees, including children and elderly people, without shelter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He appeals to humanitarian organisations to urgently provide assistance, including food, drinking water, medicines, and medical supplies, as well as shelter materials, tents, and supplies to repair damaged homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
