Local authorities in Tine, Chad, have suspended classes for three days due to escalating security tensions along the Sudanese border.
The decision was announced Tuesday in the Wadi Fira region, amid mounting military developments on the northeastern frontier.
The move followed a Saturday clashes in Sudanese border.
A natural waterway marks the boundary between Chad and Sudan, serving as a vital route for trade and humanitarian convoys.
In related developments, Doctors Without Borders closed its Mabrouka hospital in Chad, citing escalating attacks on the Sudanese city of Tina.
Clashes renewed Sunday, prompting the organisation to relocate services from the border-adjacent Al-Tineh hospital to a safer alternative facility.
The new facility treated approximately 40 injured people over Saturday and Sunday, with eight beds prepared for critical cases.
Staff presence in Al-Tineh has been reduced to ensure the safety of health workers and local residents amid frequent attacks.
Doctors Without Borders stressed the importance of safeguarding both medical personnel and patients while continuing to support regional health authorities.
