A recent report by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) has revealed that over 2.5 million children in northeast Nigeria face the threat of malnutrition in 2025.
The alarming crisis is driven by ongoing insecurity and the devastating effects of 16 years of violent extremism in the region.
This has left vulnerable communities struggling with limited access to food, healthcare, and essential services.
Humanitarian agencies are intensifying their efforts to provide lifesaving aid, including food assistance, medical care, and nutritional support to affected populations.
Experts warn that urgent and coordinated action is needed to stabilize the region and prevent further loss of life.
They emphasize the importance of addressing the root causes of the crisis, including insecurity, displacement, and limited access to basic resources.
