  • 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. MODEL RELEASED. .

  • 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, with his day's worth of food in the Breidjing Refugee Camp in eastern Chad near the Sudanese border. (From the book What I Eat; Around the World in 60 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. 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.

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.

  • Smoke from cookfires wafts up into the sky at dawn in Breidjing Refugee Camp in eastern Chad. (From the book What I Eat: Around the World in 80 Diets.) The sunrise ushers in another day of waiting. It's November, two months after the rainy season, but  temperatures are still low. Women sweep the dirt in front of their tents while children walk to the water depot with empty plastic containers as roosters crow and donkeys bray into the desert air, which is beginning to lose its nighttime chill.
