The objective of the Emergency Tracking Tool (ETT) is to collect information on large and sudden population movements. Information is collected through key informant interviews or direct observation. This dashboard presents information on a population movement which occurred during the night of 28 to 29 April 2020 in the town of Ounianga Kébir, situated in Ennedi-Ouest Province, near the Libyan border. 

 

Following their deportation from Libya, 49 Chadian individuals (including 3 women and 2 girls) arrived in the town of Ounianga Kébir (Ennedi-Ouest Province) on 29 April 2020.

It should be noted that 229 individuals are already confined at this location, where no medical measure has been taken yet. Thus, in total, 278 individuals (including 34 foreign nationals) are currently quarantined in the town of Ounianga Kébir.
