  • (MODEL RELEASED IMAGE). Squatting before the fire, D'jimia Souleymane stirs a pot of aiysh, the thick porridge that her refugee family eats three times a day. Even when they lived in their village in the Darfur region of Sudan though, aiysh was the mainstay of every meal, along with a thin soup. This is also the traditional meal in central and northern Chad. (From a photographic gallery of kitchen images, in Hungry Planet: What the World Eats, p. 54)

  • The Breidjing Refugee Camp, Eastern Chad on the Sudanese border shelters 30,000 people who have fled their homes in Darfur, Sudan. At the end of the month of Ramadan, the Muslim fasting period, some of the families in D'jimia Ishakh Souleymane's block in the Breidjing Refugee Camp celebrated the festival of Eid al-Fitr by banding together to buy a goat, which they then slaughtered (entrails shown here). Later that day, the refugee families split up into groups of men and women who feasted, separately, on aiysh and goat-meat soup (Supporting image from the project Hungry Planet: What the World Eats.)

  • At the end of the month of Ramadan, the Muslim fasting period, nearly all of the families in the sprawling Breidjing Refugee Camp celebrated the festival of Eid al-Fitr. Many of the Sudanese refugees went to services at an improvised mosque; afterward, the imam led a procession around the camp, singing songs and delivering periodic homilies to segregated groups of men and women.

  • A boy digs for water from a nearly dry riverbed (called a wadi) in the Breidjing Refugee Camp in Eastern Chad. Water is a constant preoccupation in the Breidjing Refugee Camp, home to 30,000 refugees from Darfur, Sudan. Every day, lines of women and children carry jugs and pots of drinking and cooking water from distribution points to their tents. To get extra water to wash clothes, families dig pits in nearby wadis (seasonal river beds), creating shallow pools from which they scoop out water. in the month of November, the camp wadi had water three feet below the surface. As the dry season advances, the sand pits get deeper and deeper.

  • Abdel Karim Aboubakar, a Sudanese refugee at the Breidjing Refugee Camp in Eastern Chad. (Abdel Karim Aboubakar is featured in the book What I Eat: Around the World in 80 Diets.) The caloric value of his day's worth of food on a typical day in the month of November was 2300 kcals. He is 16 years of age; 5 feet 9.5 inches tall; and 110 pounds. Aboubakar escaped over the border from the Darfur region of Sudan into eastern Chad with his mother and siblings, just ahead of the Janjaweed militia that were burning villages of black Sudanese tribes. Like thousands of other refugees, they were accepted into the camp program administrated by the United Nations High Commission on Refugees. Their meals are markedly similar to those they ate in their home country; there's just less of it. They eat a grain porridge called aiysh, with a thin soup flavored with a dried vegetable or sometimes a small chunk of dried meat if Abdel Karim's mother has been able to work in a villager's field for a day or two.

  • Abdel Karim Aboubakar, a Sudanese refugee, with his day's worth of food in the Breidjing Refugee Camp in eastern Chad near the Sudanese border.

He is 16 years of age; 5 feet 9.5 inches tall; and 110 pounds. He escaped over the border from the volatile Darfur region of Sudan into eastern Chad with his mother and siblings, just ahead of the Janjawiid militia that were burning villages of ethnically black African Sudanese.
