A severe hunger emergency is gripping Nigeria’s North-East, with over 30 million people facing food insecurity — a sharp rise from 25 million two years ago.

Humanitarian groups like UNICEF and Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) report record-breaking levels of malnutrition, especially among children, as conditions continue to deteriorate.

The crisis is expected to worsen as the World Food Program (WFP) prepares to suspend all emergency food and nutrition aid in the region by the end of July 2025 due to funding shortages.

Communities are now bracing for deepened hardship unless urgent global support is mobilized.
