No fewer than nine local government areas in Borno State cannot be reached with humanitarian aid due to the suspension of air operations by the United Nations, following a Boko Haram terrorist attack

on one of its helicopters.

On July 2, Boko Haram terrorists had attacked Damasak in Mobbar LGA, killing two civilians and shooting a UN Mission humanitarian helicopter, which was badly damaged. He, therefore, lamented that the attack on the UN helicopter would affect the organisation’s ability to reach remote areas.An authoritative UN official, who did not want to be named, said, “It was a one-week suspension to enable the humanitarian communities and the Nigerian government to review safety conditions of all those locations. The more they are attacking military locations, the more dangerous it is for humanitarian services.

Additionally, according to the IOM DTM 2020 report, before the Boko Haram attack on the UN helicopter in Damasak, five LGAs in Borno State were unreached due to terrorist activities.
