UN Suspends Aid Flights in Nigeria Due to Financial Constraints

The UN has suspended aid flights in Nigeria, managed by the World Food Programme's Humanitarian Air Service (UNHAS), after nearly a decade of supporting relief efforts in Borno and Yobe states. The suspension follows financial constraints, with warnings that millions of people could face food and nutrition aid suspensions.

The shutdown underscores the critical need for international contributions to sustain operations in the region. The UN emphasized the potential devastating consequences on vulnerable communities already grappling with hunger, displacement, and extremist violence.

The situation highlights the urgent need for continued donor support to prevent a humanitarian crisis in Nigeria.
