UNFPA NIGERIA NORTHEAST HUMANITARIAN SITUATION REPORT SITREP
The Northeast humanitarian crisis has pervaded Borno, Adamawa, and the Yobe States since July 2009 with Borno as the epicenter. The violence which saw armed opposition groups fighting the Nigerian army forced many families and individuals to flee from their homes, with displacement and untold hardship for a large segment of the population. Infrastructure such as health facilities, markets, water supply, and roads was damaged or made inaccessible. Over the last 10 years, while annually structured humanitarian interventions by the humanitarian community have led to a reduction in the burden of earlier quantified need, new displacements from sporadic attacks by Non-State armed groups and counter military operations continue to lead to new displacements with new camp arrivals ever so incessantly.
The majority of the displaced are women and children who heavily depend on humanitarian assistance for survival.
