The humanitarian crisis in north-east Nigeria continues as hostilities between Nigerian security forces and non-state armed groups
enter their ninth year. The internal displacement of the civilians has caused destabilization of the basic services and daily life routine
(an area already affected by poverty and malnourishment). An estimated 8.5 million people in the three most affected states of Borno,
Yobe and Adamawa now depend on humanitarian assistance. Since 2016 humanitarian institutions in close cooperation with the
Government of Nigeria has provided life-saving assistance and helped stabilise living conditions for millions of people. Improvements
in access to basic facilities has reduced mortality and morbidity. Access to humanitarian activities continues to present major challenges
in Borno State with dozens of conflict incidents reported every month. Civilians are being targeted directly and by IEDs (often carried
by young women and children) on a weekly basis. The Threats of attacks by insurgent groups and military restrictions due to the
emergency continues to have negative impact on trade, market and livelihoods, making a large portion of the population dependent
on humanitarian assistance.
