Nigeria
The Boko Haram conflict, which began in 2009 when the jihadist group started an armed rebellion against the government, has resulted in a severe food security emergency especially in North East Nigeria. The insurgency and political violence in Borno state causes population displacement: children and families get refuge in camps where basic needs are not covered. We care for children with severe malnutrition in the Tdh ambulant nutrition centre. In the displaced people’s camps, we provide the necessary access to drinking water and hygiene.
