A recent UN report found that 4.4 million people in the area are facing food shortages as attacks by militants are forcing farmers from their lands
August 5, 2021 – Save the Children is deeply concerned to find that an estimated 2.3 million children and youth, including some 700,000 children under five, are going hungry in North-East Nigeria.
A recent UN report found that 4.4 million people in the area are facing food shortages as attacks by militants are forcing farmers from their lands. Save the Children strongly condemns the reported attacks and displacement of farmers and other civilians.

An estimated 2.2 million people have fled their homes because of the violence, leaving families and children wanting food, a safe place to live and, for many children, education.

Shannon Ward, Acting Country Director, Save the Children International Nigeria, said:
“The situation is extremely dire. Millions of children have already been through a decade of suffering, violence and humanitarian crisis. Thousands and thousands have died, and many more saw their rights impacted to survive, learn and be protected.”

“The reported loss of livelihoods, land and crop coupled with the effects of COVID-19 is beyond something the community can bear. We are extremely worried that this will lead to an even bigger food crisis in the northeast of the country.”

“We call upon the Federal and State Governments to ensure that farmers are supported and protected, so they can work their lands, and feed their families and communities. And we call for safe access for humanitarian workers, so we can reach those most in need.”

“Children, girls and women are more vulnerable at times of attack and displacement. As a result of overcrowding, family separation, a lack of basic social services and desperate measures people take just to survive, such as marrying off their children, they run a high risk of gender-based violence, physical and sexual abuse. Many children will be urged to drop out of school, and some will never return – with their childhood dream fading away.”

The crisis in Nigeria comes at a time when the world is facing its biggest hunger crisis of the 21st century, with an estimated 5.7 million children under five on the brink of starvation across the globe. A further 13 million children under 18 are facing extreme food shortages, the organisation said.

Save the Children urges the authorities in Nigeria and the international community to commit more resources to address the massive critical needs of the displaced people in North-East Nigeria.

Save the Children was one of the first humanitarian organisations that responded to the humanitarian crisis in the area, reaching 1.2 million people since the start of the response. The organisation is providing food assistance and protection services to more than 320,000 children and families regularly.

Save the Children remains committed to working with the authorities to deliver urgent, life-saving humanitarian assistance for children and their families in need.

Their leaders don care as far they are still in charge

Okay...


The humanity in their leaders would have moved them to pity. But to hell with pity.

When violence is a major source of remuneration to them, they'd rather watch their members eat grass than to risk cashing out.

If they could risk losing 72 virgins by the reason of their sins, to what length can they not go for this money?

To them, it's to hell with pity, humanity and love.

In the event of break-up , the North'll certainly go into Oblivion...

Or flood into the South and wreck havoc.

Meanwhile Arewa youths consultative forum is crying after government to Ban BBnaija.

“Children, girls and women are more vulnerable at times of attack and displacement.

Even The life of their children is not valuable to them.

People can reglare who can and who cannot enter their country.

They should make sure to remain in their North East and not come to Southerner Nigeria to become destitutes just as their parents are.

Nnamdi Kanu and Igbos are their problems. They will be alright.

The South should start thinking of building a fvcking wall. You saw what you reap.

This is what the ignorant don't know. The country or region suffering from food insecurity the most are the ones whose primary business is farming.

The situation in the north would have been worsened if the borders were opened. Because about 60% of our staple food (rice, frozen foods etc) were imported. The borders were shut to uplift the fortune of the agrarian north, whose 90% of their foods are imported down south.

Are we surprised ?? ... YES.... They should be over 10million children.... Some dey Lagos,pH and Onitsha dey beg
