MSF fires 18 staff in Chad for sexual exploitation

Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) confirmed on June 10, 2026, that it dismissed 18 staff members in eastern Chad for serious misconduct involving sexual exploitation and abuse of Sudanese refugee women and underage girls. The allegations were first reported to MSF in late 2024. Those dismissed are permanently barred from working with the organization. The case underscores ongoing risks faced by refugees fleeing Sudan's civil war into neighboring Chad.
