US EditionNigeria: '1 Million Children At Risk of Malnutrition in Borno, Adamawa, Yobe'
- In 2025, severe acute malnutrition threatens over a million children living in the states of Borno, Adamawa, and Yobe, worsening a long-standing humanitarian emergency in the region.
- This crisis has developed over 15 years due to prolonged unrest, financial challenges, environmental disruptions, and substantial reductions in humanitarian funding that have constrained critical lifesaving assistance.
- The Nigerian government and UN launched a US$159 million Lean Season Response Plan targeting two million severely affected people over six months.
- Currently, only two out of every ten children affected receive treatment, while an estimated 4.6 million individuals in these states are expected to experience severe food shortages during the upcoming lean season.
- Urgent, coordinated action is needed to prevent child deaths, restore health services, and address systemic poverty and instability factors fueling malnutrition.
