An international medical humanitarian organisation, Médecins Sans Frontières, also known as Doctors without Borders says a great humanitarian crisis persists in Northeast Nigeria, with catastrophic levels of malnutrition and recurrent outbreaks of preventable diseases.
It noted that the level of humanitarian support available to respond to people’s critical needs in northern Nigeria is in dramatic decline.
The organisation in a statement on Tuesday, lamented that the situation is largely being ignored by donors and aid organisations.
It stated, “Over recent years, more than 600,000 people have been displaced from their homes in Northwest Nigeria as a result of extreme violence, deteriorating economic conditions, and climate change.
“Despite encouraging signs of mobilisation from humanitarian actors and donors in 2023, MSF warns that the funding and aid currently available are vastly insufficient for people’s growing humanitarian needs.
