, a charity organisation, says more than 15 million kids in Nigeria will face a hunger crisis between June and August 2024.

Duncan Harvey, Save the Children country director in Nigeria, said the hunger crisis is caused by the “violent killings, attacks and kidnappings by non-state armed groups and bandits in the country’s north”. “Almost 32 million people in Nigeria, including 15.6 million children, will face crisis levels of hunger between June and August unless food and cash assistance is received,” he said.

“Hunger exists nationwide, but the situation in the north where violence is rife is particularly dire. In Borno, Yobe, Katsina and Zamfara, one in three children do not know where their next meal will come from.
