Nigeria
In Nigeria, the ICRC helps people affected by armed conflict and violence, particularly in the North-East, and increasingly in the North-West. We promote international humanitarian law and other rules that protect people during armed violence and we support the emergency-response work of the Nigerian Red Cross Society.
