The Global Protection Cluster (GPC) is issuing this Protection Alert to draw attention to a forgotten crisis in western Chad, primarily in the Lac province, a border region characterized by high socio-economic vulnerability and water surfaces that limit access to arable land; where armed attacks, the effects of climate change, limited access to essential services, and forced displacement are heightening protection risks for local communities.
