The World Food Program has warned it will suspend emergency aid in northeast Nigeria by the end of July due to critical funding shortages.
Over 1.3 million people are at risk of deeper hunger and malnutrition if the suspension goes ahead, the agency cautions.
The crisis-hit region continues to suffer from the twin burdens of violent extremism and soaring food insecurity.
Aid groups say urgent donor support is needed to prevent a humanitarian catastrophe in one of Nigeria’s most vulnerable areas.
