US Agency Donates $13m For Boko Haram Victims In North East by Stanlel(m): 6:51am On Jul 12, 2016
United Nations humanitarian chief, Stephen O’Brien, has released $13 million from the Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) to provide life-saving assistance to 250,000 people in areas of north-east Nigeria that have just become accessible, bringing the total CERF support to more than $70 million.

About $27 million was already allocated in March 2015 to assist more than 1.6 million internally displaced people, refugees, returnees, and host communities in Cameroon, Chad, Niger and Nigeria. An additional $31 million was provided in early 2016 to help 700,000 people in the Lake Chad Basin.


The destruction of crops and looting of livestock have left many unable to support their families. More than 50,000 people are in need of seeds and tools for the upcoming planting season and CERF funding will help them to rebuild their livelihoods by providing food, including the all important child nutritional supplements.
Not only that, a significant number of women and girls, as well as men and boys, have suffered or witnessed terrible abuses due to the violence perpetrated by Boko Haram and CERF funds will enable humanitarian partners to provide critical psychosocial support and protection and health services. And all of the above will be achieved through disbursements to FAO, UNDSS, UNFPA, UNHAS, UNHCR, UNICEF and WFP.
In a statement made available on Monday, O’Brien stressed that the international community must take advantage of the better access to vulnerable people to reach them with essential services and build on the CERF allocation to scale up the response.
“The humanitarian crisis in North-East Nigeria is massive and alarming: 15 million people are affected by the violence instigated by Boko Haram including 7 million people who need urgent humanitarian assistance,” said Munir Safieldin, the acting Humanitarian Coordinator. “Unless we scale up now, 7 to 8 children will die of severe acute malnutrition every hour; 184 children will die every day. We need resources now to scale up our current response,” he said.
He said the Humanitarian Response Plan for Nigeria was revised upwards by $51 million in June and is now calling for $279 million.


“To date, it is only 22 per cent funded,” he said.
CERF is a pooled fund that supports rapid humanitarian response. Donors preposition funds with CERF so that money is available immediately to kick-start relief operations in new emergencies and to provide live-saving assistance in crises that are underfunded. At mid-year, donors have contributed $248 million to CERF for 2016 and CERF has allocated nearly the same amount, responding to high demand from humanitarian partners

13 million what ?? That can feed the state of New Jersey for 1 year.
Trust me, this is the last time you will be hearing about the $13 million.
How will these people benefit from the $13 million ??
Give them 3 bags of rice each ?? They will eat the rice in just 1 month and still be hungry.

They only way they can benefit from the $13 million is to have it shared to them all but the last time i checked, the Northern Nigeria have been ruling Nigeria since 1865 and yet they still accuse other people of corruption and embezzlement

The northern Nigeria and their leaders are bent on destroying this great nation, you hear and read about their atrocities and evil all day long

@345Naira to 1 Dollar, that amounts to 4.485 Billion Naira. . . It's a lot of money. God Bless America.

This is a lesson to the Al-Qaeda-oriented muslims out there who think the U.S is against Allah. When your brothers finished ruining the North-East, the same U.S you're all so quick to condemn is the ond helping you out. . . You people should stop turning God's word upside down and embrace humanism.

Any religion that encourages the killing of fellow human beings as a way to please God is evil because when it's all said and done, all we have left is each other.

God Bless Nigeria

Even if 100 billion dollars was given, our greedy leaders will end up squandering the money and sharing few "mudus" of rice, garri and kuli kuli to the victims.

And what sense does it make "sharing the money"?
Re: US Agency Donates $13m For Boko Haram Victims In North East by Nobody: 8:32am On Jul 12, 2016
I really do not know what is wrong with the US they have been giving money to Nigeria since thy kingdom come and consistently we have nothing to show for it, yet they keep givingn.

I think it is US government channel this their "bonaza" into providing affordable education for her citizens.

Truly they should use their money for something beneficiary rather than giving it to countries whose politicians would end up "stealing" the fund.
