Fact Sheet: Ngala Local Government Area Borno State, North-East Nigeria Last Updated May 2020 Fact Sheet: Ngala Local Government Area Borno State, North-east Nigeria Last updated May 2020 68,058 34,713 15,347 12,558 3,396 2,044 3 Infants Elderly Children Women Men IDP Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) Camps Overview • Ngala Local Government Area (LGA), located in eastern Borno State on the border with Cameroon and the Lake Chad. • The occupation by non-state armed groups (NSAGs) triggered a massive displacement of the population, including the alleged killing of over 300 civilians and destruction of public and private property. • Access into the town is by air through UNHAS or by road with a military escort at least twice a week on the main routes out of Ngala town including the Maiduguri-Ngala road and the Ngala-Rann road. • According to IOM DTM, over 800 IDPs households arrived in Ngala LGA between January 2020 to March 2020 with more than half living in dire conditions at the Arabic camp reception centre. • COVID-19: An extensive risk communication awareness campaign on individual precautionary measures against COVID-19 is being implemented, amplified through religious organizations, local communities, social and traditional media. • COVID-19: Humanitarian response efforts focus on preparedness, surveillance, risk communication, and adjusting modalities to ensure operational continuity to minimize the impact of COVID-19 on vulnerable communities and humanitarian partners.

Fact Sheet: Ngala Local Government Area Borno State, North-east Nigeria Last updated May 2020 Humanitarian Response and Gaps Humanitarian response is only feasible in Ngala and Gamboru towns, as the other wards are not accessible to humanitarian staff due to security concerns. Camp Coordination Camp Management / Shelter & NFI Over congestion poses severe risks of outbreak of disease and fire. Three fire incidents were reported in April, leading to the loss of over 30 lives and burning of over 700 shelters. The report of the presidential assessment committee on the fire incident is yet to be made public. Routine camp management activities include the complaint desk, which is open twice a week, general sanitation conducted every Saturday and camp risk awareness is undertaken by the CCCM partners to improve the security of the IDPs. At the International School (IS) Camp, shelter partners built about 3,500 emergency shelters in addition to the existing 1,650 emergency shelters. The IS Camp extension with 1033 shelters has been fully occupied since January 2020 after Mercy Corps had completed additional security measures as required by the military as a pre-condition to the relocation of IDPs to the site. Mercy Corps and IOM have responded with additional 760 and 500 shelter kits and shelters respectively within the Arabic Camp. Food Security The World Food Program (WFP) and partners have fully transitioned from in kind distributions to cash-based transfers (E-Voucher) adopting the modified per capita approach with contingency in kind distribution provisioned for new arrivals at the reception center. Health Humanitarian partners are delivering free primary health care services and secondary care within the camps and host community. INTERSOS and UNICEF manage health services in the host community, offering PHC with SRH and nutrition components. MSF, UNICEF, FHI36O and INTERSOS are providing health services at the IS Camp while FHI360 is delivering health services at Arabic Village Camp. Rehabilitation of the medical health centre by the local government with the support of the Ministry of Health is nearly 75 per cent completed. The World Health Organization (WHO) has ongoing disease surveillance and routine immunization programs and is leading response planning efforts on the COVID-19 preparedness. Protection Protection partners are assisting with protection monitoring and psychosocial activities. Children club activities have been successfully established in the IS Camp and in the host community. There is ongoing coaching and mentoring on protection by community volunteers. About 89 per cent of household members lack legal documentation. Access to justice to seek redress is challenged as government judiciary staff are not on ground. GBV and Child Protection referral pathways have been established but require strengthening. Water Sanitation and Hygiene Humanitarian partners are drilling new boreholes, rehabilitating the latrines, bathing showers and latrine dislodgement. Water supply stands at about 13m3 per person daily. Water quality is reported to be poor, triggering the preference of IDPs to untreated naturally occurring water sources. Dislodgement of latrines is carried out manually by FHI360 and Solidarités International with the support of UNICEF. FHI360 has built 140 blocks of latrines in the Arabic Village Camp, while in the IS Camp, Solidarités International has built 52 blocks and Mercy Corps is planning to add 40 latrines. In the host community, 569 latrines are required to meet the SPHERE standards of one latrine for 50 people. Dumping sites are being treated to mitigate any disease outbreak. Education UNICEF has established temporal learning centres in the IDP camps and are providing education services but not on a consistent basis as the teacher to learner ratio is extremely low. Learning and teaching aids are adequately provided by UNICEF. UNICEF is the sole organisation providing education services (i.e. there are no implementing partners on ground). About 18,000 (or 45 per cent of ) children are out of school. Only eight schools, five primary schools and three junior secondary schools, are functional while 29 are not functional. Regular payment of stipends for the volunteer teachers remains a challenge. Fact Sheet: Ngala Local Government Area Borno State, North-east Nigeria Last updated May 2020 Nutrition Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) cases are reported to be on the increase at 1 per cent with Moderate Acute Malnutrition (MAM) rates at 5.7 per cent exacerbated by the social disruptions caused by COVID-19. Over 2,000 SAM cases were admitted between January and April 2020 especially among the teeming number of new arrivals with about half the number cured and discharged; Four OTP sites and two stabilisation centres are actively operational but are challenged by the bureaucracy of the logistics of commodities from Maiduguri. Coordination Operational humanitarian response coordination has been decentralized from Maiduguri through the Local Coordination Group (LCG) meetings held in Ngala town. The LCG structure aims to enhance coordination among partners at the deep field level through improved information flow between partners in the LGA and the Borno State capital for a more effective response. The LCG meeting is held monthly. Sector specific meetings at the LGA level is also held monthly. Four (4) LCG meetings were held between January and April 2020. One CMCoord meeting was also held within the same period to enhance interaction between humanitarian partners, civil authorities and the military. Common services The Humanitarian hub became operational in November 2017. It provides partners with a secure accommodation space for 15 guests, meeting venue, and telecommunication services. Most NGO partners with permanent operational presence in Ngala have guest houses within the government owned Lake Chad Basin quarters. However, with the January 18 NSAG attack at the hub, it has been partially put out of operation while HCT/OHCT recommendations on its reinforcement are being carried out. Gap Analysis • Health services are insufficient. IDPs and the host community cross the border to Cameroon for emergency procedures that are not available in Ngala. In the case of urgent emergencies, the time to cross to Cameroon for treatment can lead to loss of life. There is urgent need to deploy mobile health units to deliver immediate, lifesaving health services as well as basic surgical services. • Constraints in accessing additional land to construct more shelter to decongest the IDP camps and the reception center. • Congested camps, with risk of disease and fire outbreak. • Inadequate security lighting within and around the camps. • No permanent teachers to handle the huge school age children. • Inability to conduct basic surgical procedures in the Primary Health Care center.

Fighting against insurgents has been ongoing until summer 2016. The road and the border are now open and UNHAS helicopters are currently serving Ngala since December 2016. LGA level: On June, a clearance operation has been conducted by 3rd Battalion from Ngala towards North of the LGA, along the Cameroonian border to push away insurgents groups present in this zone of Ngala LGA. This LGA is part of the Area of Operations of Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP). This group remains active in the North of Ngala – due to the presence of bases in Lake Chad area – and in Kala Balge LGA where it has a freedom of movement in the southern part of the LGA. ISWAP groups are very mobile and base their actions on guerrilla warfare (ambushes, IED’s, hit- and-run tactic). Skirmishes with NAF can occur during the patrols. The actual NAF deployment is centered on: The control of the road Dikwa – Ngala to keep it open for commercial convoys, The control of the LGA’s Headquarters, The capability to conduct combat patrols from bases in order to conduct a zone control deeply inside the LGA’s.

  • FEWS NET Special Report: a Famine Likely Occurred in Bama LGA and May Be Ongoing in Inaccessible Areas of Borno State
    December 13, 2016 A Famine likely occurred in Bama LGA and may be ongoing in inaccessible areas of Borno State This report summarizes an IPC-compatible analysis of Local Government Areas (LGAs) and select IDP concentrations in Borno State, Nigeria. The conclusions of this report have been endorsed by the IPC’s Emergency Review Committee. This analysis follows a July 2016 multi-agency alert, which warned of Famine, and builds off of the October 2016 Cadre Harmonisé analysis, which concluded that additional, more detailed analysis of Borno was needed given the elevated risk of Famine. KEY MESSAGES A Famine likely occurred in Bama and Banki towns during 2016, and in surrounding rural areas where conditions are likely to have been similar, or worse. Although this conclusion cannot be fully verified, a preponderance of the available evidence, including a representative mortality survey, suggests that Famine (IPC Phase 5) occurred in Bama LGA during 2016, when the vast majority of the LGA’s remaining population was concentrated in Bama Town and Banki Town. Analysis indicates that at least 2,000 Famine-related deaths may have occurred in Bama LGA between January and September, many of them young children. Famine may have also occurred in other parts of Borno State that were inaccessible during 2016, but not enough data is available to make this determination. While assistance has improved conditions in accessible areas of Borno State, a Famine may be ongoing in inaccessible areas where conditions could be similar to those observed in Bama LGA earlier this year. Significant assistance in Bama Town (since July) and in Banki Town (since August/September) has contributed to a reduction in mortality and the prevalence of acute malnutrition, though these improvements are tenuous and depend on the continued delivery of assistance.

Africa Escalation in conflict highlights rising cross-border threat from Nigerian militants In recent weeks, the Nigerian Islamist militant group Boko Haram augmented its offensive from northeast Nigeria into the far north of Cameroon, forcing the Cameroonian government to further increase its deployment of soldiers to the area. On 25 August, militants carried out a house-to-house raid of the twin towns of Gamboru and Ngala, seizing control of the military base and police station and ultimately the whole town. The offensive forced thousands of residents and Nigerian military personnel to flee across the border into Cameroon. The militants then set up operations and occupied dwellings abandoned by the towns’ inhabitants. On 25-26 August, as Boko Haram advanced into the north of Cameroon near Fotokol in pursuit of the fleeing residents and Nigerian military personnel, Cameroonian security forces engaged the militants, killing 27. On 27 August, Boko Haram suffered heavy casualties as Cameroon’s military increased its operational capacity, deploying tanks to Fotokol and shelling the militants’ camp in Gamboru-Ngala from across the border.
