WFP INSECURITY IN NORTHERN NIGERIA SITUATION REPORT #10, 20 NOVEMBER 2015

Highlights

• As the tensions in northern Nigeria continue, the displacement of populations re-mains ongoing, greatly impacting the ability of border countries to cope with the crisis.
• In the areas worst affected by the crisis, rates of malnutrition among children under five surpass the World Health Organization’s emergency threshold.
• In September, WFP reached over 340,000 food insecure people in the Lake Chad Basin, however continued insecurity is making it difficult and costly for WFP to provide life-saving assistance to the people who need it most. Without additional funds WFP will be unable to scale-up its assistance to meet increasing needs.
