The United Nations Children Fund (UNICEF) has warned that the lives of nearly 600 million children globally would be at risk in 2040 as a result of water stress.
The Fund also noted that in Borno, Adamawa and Yobe, the three states most directly affected by conflict, almost 4 million required water, sanitation and hygiene assistance.
Geoffrey Ijumba, Chief of Field Office, UNICEF Nigeria said, in Nigeria, it was estimated that 75 per cent of water, sanitation and hygiene infrastructure in conflict-affected areas had been destroyed; with the displaced people staying in temporary IDPs’ sites and host communities; putting enormous pressure on already strained health and water systems.
