Fresh fruits and vegetables can hardly be found in the local market. The office has established guest houses for the international colleagues, but private accommodation is possible as well though very few meet the established MORSS requirements. The Sub-Office is in the desert with harsh weather conditions, lack of water, and unavailability of basic infrastructure facilities such as roads which impact on timely delivery of quality humanitarian services to the beneficiaries. The climate is hot, dry and dusty. There are no banking facilities in Iriba. The nearest bank facility is at Abeche located at 270 km from Iriba where we happen to have most of the banks operating in Chad (BCC, ECOBANK etc¿). UN Humanitarian Aviation Services provide regular flights to and from Iriba to other cities in Chad mainly Abéché and N¿Djamena.
