'We are hungry' - the awful answer I heard repeatedly from Sudanese mothers I met earlier this week in Adré, Chad, when I asked them what they needed most." says Dr Tedros.
"Some of them told me their homes were burned, their crops destroyed, their animals stolen. They left, and arrived, with nothing. Their journey speaks of unimaginable resilience, and their voices are an urgent plea for help."
