The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) is worried that the upcoming lean period will worsen the alarming humanitarian crisis in Nigeria’s Borno, Adamawa, and Yobe (BAY) states. In response, the Nigerian government launched a multisector plan for these states focused on urgent food security. “The health and nutrition sectors have been particularly impacted, with up to 70% of health services and 50% of nutrition services affected, threatening gains in malnutrition prevention and treatment,” reveals OCHA.
