Darfur/ Eastern Chad
To address the needs of over 2 million conflict-affected
children and their families in Darfur, and those who became
refugees in Chad, Supply Division sent supplies regularly
throughout the year. These items, with a total value of $29
million, included vaccine and cold-chain equipment (such as
3.9 million doses of measles vaccine for an immunization campaign
in June), shelter materials, long-lasting insecticidal nets,
first-aid kits, water and sanitation items, pharmaceuticals,
nutrition items and school-in-a-box kits. Although most supplies
were shipped by sea and then truck, 12 air charters were also
sent to the region. The emergency hub in Dubai was used extensively
in meeting urgent supply needs.
