UN Warns of Severe Hunger Crisis in Nigeria's Northeast Amid Aid Cuts

The United Nations has issued a warning about the worst hunger crisis in a decade in Nigeria's strife-torn northeast, with nearly 15,000 people in Borno State at immediate risk of food shortages. The aid cuts, particularly affecting the World Food Programme (WFP), have worsened malnutrition across the region, impacting millions of people in West Central Africa.

The reduction in aid funding, exacerbated by donor cuts and conflicts, has left vulnerable communities struggling to cope with severe food insecurity.
