WFP Warns of Aid Cuts in Northern Nigeria, Millions at Risk of Hunger

The World Food Programme (WFP) warns of imminent food assistance reduction in conflict-affected Northern Nigeria, putting millions at risk of worsened hunger. Over 35 million Nigerians are experiencing acute hunger, with Borno State being one of the hardest-hit areas.

The situation could lead to famine conditions, triggering secondary displacements and increasing the risk of recruitment by criminal and extremist groups. Urgent funding is needed to prevent a humanitarian crisis.
