By shutting down the activities of two non-governmental organisations operating in North-East region of Nigeria in September, the army denied access to treatment for 1,500 children suffering from severe acute malnutrition in 87 treatment centres, a UNICEF report said.
The organisation said eight stabilisation centres that cater to youngsters with medical complications were closed as a result of the army’s interference. According to UNICEF’s humanitarian situation report for September, there was a slight decrease in the number of internally displaced persons due to the inability of enumerators to reach all places where more people have been driven out of their houses.“On September 27, Nigerian security forces in Maiduguri informed two major NGOs that their activities must be suspended while the military carried out an investigation into alleged irregularities.
“The suspensions have had a significant impact on the provision of humanitarian assistance and services, including in UNICEF sectors. “An estimated 1,500 children suffering from severe acute malnutrition are being deprived of nutrition assistance in 87 treatment centres in Borno and Yobe states each week.”The organisation said its intervention will extend to states affected by inter-communal clashes like Zamfara, Sokoto and Benue.
