We have been warned

Some 75,000 children in north-eastern Nigeria risk dying of hunger in "the few months ahead", the UN says.


UN humanitarian co-ordinator Peter Lundberg said that overall 14 million people needed humanitarian assistance in a region that was the former stronghold of Boko Haram militants. He warned that the UN did not have enough funds to avert the crisis. More than two million people have been displaced since 2009 in the Borno state and other areas.
