How come people in Sudan are"CRYING WITH HUNGER"?
He's only 2-years-old, but he has the haunted look of an old man.
Some aid workers say malnourishment and mortality are reaching alarming levels in the children among 170,000 Chadian civilians displaced by violence that has ravaged the east of their country, which borders with Sudan's conflict-torn Darfur.
Some like Mahamat are so ill with malnutrition they need round-the-clock hospital care.
"The situation in the displaced camps in eastern Chad is way above emergency thresholds," said Johanne Sekkenes, field coordinator for French medical charity Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) in the village of Kou Kou.
The Chadians have been forced from their homes by successive overlapping violence -- cross-border raids from Darfur by Arab Janjaweed militias, inter-ethnic clashes between Arab and non-Arab communities and advances by Chadian rebels.
Along with tens of thousands of Sudanese refugees also sheltering in this barren terrain, almost half a million people in eastern Chad are reliant on international help to survive.
Since last month, the race has been on to get aid into this region before the rains start in the coming weeks, which will make roads impassable.
On the orders of France's new foreign minister, Bernard Kouchner, French military planes have been airlifting in food supplies. Aid groups are rushing to give families plastic sheeting to protect their flimsy straw shelters.
But for many, the relief operation is too little, too late.
"The international aid is very late, and the closer we get to the rainy season the more difficult it's going to be," MSF's Sekkenes told Reuters.
"We're trying to catch up ... but there's more aid needed and it has to be stepped up quickly," she added.
