The ICRC and the Nigerian Red Cross are engaged in large-scale activities to help the population affected by the conflict in northeast Nigeria. Since December 2014, food has been distributed to more than 200,000 people, clean water has been provided and medical assistance given to the local population and surgical cares in northeast Nigeria.

ICRC has distributed 1-month ration to 8500 families in Maiduguri. The food package includes 75 kg of rice, 24 kg of beans, 1 kg of salt and 12 litres of cooking oil. It will provide 2500 Kcal per person per day and will cover the needs of a 6-member family.

Around one million people have sought refuge in Maiduguri after fleeing on-going violence in the northeast of Nigeria. Almost everyone has lost everything when they had to run away to save their lives.

60 volunteers of the Nigerian Red Cross, together with 70 workers, helped the ICRC distribute food items to 8500 families in Maiduguri.

The situation of those displaced by the violence in northeast Nigeria, especially women and girls, is extremely difficult. Communities have been torn apart, children are not going to school and almost everyone has lost everything.

Children are among those who have sought refuge from ongoing violence. These children have been living with their mothers in an IDP camp in Yola for the past 8 months.

This girl fled her hometown with her mother when their village was attacked. Since she arrived in the IDP Camp in Yola, she has not been able to go to school because her family, who had lost almost everything when they fled, cannot afford the fees.
