The World Food Programme (WFP) warns it could halt humanitarian aid to the Sahel and Nigeria by April due to severe funding shortages.

The UN agency needs $620 million to continue assisting millions in need across the region.

If funds are not secured, countries like Niger, Burkina Faso, Mauritania, and Chad could face worsening food insecurity.

WFP’s West and Central Africa Communication Manager, Djaounsédé Madjiangar, has raised urgent concerns over the crisis.
