Armed conflict in Northeast Nigeria has displaced over 2.2 million people and severely impacted access to food, healthcare, and basic services. Civilian casualties continue to rise, with improvised explosive devices posing ongoing threats. An estimated 5.1 million people in Borno, Adamawa, and Yobe are projected to face food insecurity during the 2025 lean season, with women and children among the most affected.
