NIGERIA:DRIVEN BY CONFLICT, THE HUMANITARIAN CRISIS IN NIGERIA'S NORTH EAST ZONE IS ONE OF THE WORLD'S TEN MOST SEVERE CRISES. IN NIGERIA, 7.1 MILLION PEOPLE ARE IN NEED OF HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE, WHILE 1.8 MILLION PEOPLE IN THE CONFLICT-AFFECTED STATES ARE INTERNALLY DISPLACED. IT IS ESTIMATED THAT 823,000 PEOPLE LIVE IN AREAS INACCESSIBLE TO INTERNATIONAL HUMANITARIAN ORGANISATIONS. MORE THAN ONE MILLION CHILDREN BETWEEN THE AGES OF SIX MONTHS AND FIVE YEARS ARE ACUTELY MALNOURISHED ACROSS THE AFFECTED AREAS. ONE IN FIVE CHILDREN WITH SEVERE ACUTE MALNUTRITION AND ONE IN 15 CHILDREN WITH MODERATE ACUTE MALNUTRITION ARE AT RISK OF DEATH IF UNTREATED. AMID AN INCREASINGLY INTENSE CONFLICT AND NEW WAVES OF DISPLACEMENTS IN THE NORTH EAST, ACTION AGAINST HUNGER HAS BEEN THE FIRST RESPONDER IN MANY AREAS AFFECTED BY CONFLICT, STRIVING TO EMPLOY A MULTI-SECTORAL APPROACH AND TO CONNECT WITH EARLY RECOVERY INTERVENTIONS WHERE POSSIBLE. OUR FOOD SECURITY PROGRAMS HAVE REACHED APPROXIMATELY ONE MILLION PEOPLE, INCREASING THEIR SOCIAL PROTECTION, PROVIDING FOOD ASSISTANCE THROUGH CASH AND VOUCHERS, PROMOTING INCOME-GENERATING ACTIVITIES, AND CULTIVATING VEGETABLE GARDENS. IN YOBE, BORNO, AND JIGAWA STATES, OUR NUTRITION AND HEALTH SERVICES SUPPORTED APPROXIMATELY 2.7 MILLION PEOPLE. WE HAVE TREATED SEVERELY MALNOURISHED CHILDREN, AND OUR MOTHER-TO-MOTHER AND FATHER-TO-FATHER CARE GROUPS HAVE PROVIDED SERVICES, TRAINING, AND SUPPORT TO DISPLACED PARENTS. WE WORKED TO ENSURE ACCESS TO CLEAN WATER, SAFE SANITATION, AND HYGIENE SERVICES FOR APPROXIMATELY 650,000 PEOPLE. WE DO THIS BY SUPPORTING LATRINE CONSTRUCTION, DRILLING AND REHABILITATION OF BOREHOLES, AND PROVIDING EMERGENCY WATER, SANITATION, AND HYGIENE SERVICES, INCLUDING CHOLERA PREVENTION.
