The month of May marked the onset of the rainy season, which already began impacting IDP communities who are particularly vulnerable when exposed to these harsh weather conditions. Some 18 camp sites in Gwoza, Dikwa, Bama, Ngala and Kaga LGAs have already registered 500 reports on damages to shelters and NFI kits, affecting more than 4,500 individuals, further emphasizing the need for a coordinated multi-sectoral response to mitigate the impact of the rainy season. As part of these efforts, the Inter-Sector Working Group finalized the Rainy Season and Extended Military Operations Contingency Plan to address and respond to the expected increase in vulnerabilities, targeting approximately 385,000 people across Borno, Adamawa and Yobe states with key preparedness and response activities. In May, more than 33,000 new arrivals were registered in Borno and Adamawa states, with 80 per cent of these being registered in Borno State. Displacement trends point to ongoing insecurity and military operations as the driving force of population movements, which lead to overcrowding in existing camps, camp-like settings and reception centres. Lack of additional land to provide adequate shelter solutions continues to be a pressing challenge, with an estimated 81,385 internally displaced people sleeping out in the open or lacking proper shelter solutions. Humanitarian actors across sectors continue to advocate for the availability of additional land for the construction of shelters, especially as the rainy season progresses. Towards the latter half of May, humanitarians focused on urgently providing assistance to 9,693 new arrivals (as of 28 May) in Damboa town, Damboa LGA in Borno State, following military relocations on 21 May ahead of planned clearance operations in Sabon Gari community. The majority of new arrivals are staying out in the open at either GSSS Camp or Unity Camp in Damboa and in urgent need of shelter, WASH, NFI, and food assistance. This marks the second military relocation in recent months, posing particular concerns in terms of protection of civilians, freedom of movement, and respect for the rights of individuals. To respond to the ongoing measles outbreak in Borno State, humanitarians vaccinated more than 800,000 children between the ages of six months and six years as part of the second phase of the measles reactive vaccination campaign. That brings the total number of children vaccinated since February 2019 to over 1.2 million. In 2019, the United Nations and partners are appealing for $848 million for 183 projects to be implemented by 69 humanitarian organisations. It is the seventh largest single-country appeal globally. As of 31 May 2019, $215.8 million (25.5 per cent) of the funds have been received, according to the Financial Tracking Service (FTS). 4 NORTH-EAST NIGERIA: HUMANITARIAN SITUATION UPDATE | 1-31 May 2019 FEATURE PHOTOS More than 700 people in Maiduguri are employed through a cash-for-work program through the UNDP and EU Waste Management Project as part of early recovery and livelihoods initiatives (Credit: UNDP/Eno Jonathan).

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.

  • Outcomes in Areas of Northeast Remain Heavily Dependent on Humanitarian Assistance
    NIGERIA Food Security Outlook February to September 2018 Outcomes in areas of northeast remain heavily dependent on humanitarian assistance KEY MESSAGES Current food security outcomes, February 2018 • Boko Haram conflict has left approximately 1.8 million people displaced in northeastern Nigeria and has severely limited livelihoods options for many more. Although the area under military control has expanded in recent months, the number of conflict events has remained high, with 2017 registering the most fatal conflict events in Borno State since the beginning of the insurgency. The ongoing conflict is expected to severely limit area cultivated during the primary 2018 agricultural season. • Humanitarian agencies have provided sustained food assistance in the northeast and provided significant input support for 2018 dry season agricultural activities. Since March 2017, food assistance has reached 1.9 million people or more per month, including 2.3 million people reached in January Source: FEWS NET 2018. However, surveys of displaced populations receiving FEWS NET classification is IPC-compatible. IPC-compatible analysis follows assistance have indicated that food remains a primary need, key IPC protocols but does not necessarily reflect the consensus of national food security partners. highlighting the very limited livelihoods options and high dependence on humanitarian assistance. • In most of Borno State and parts of Adamawa and Yobe States, Crisis (IPC Phase 3) outcomes are ongoing. Areas surrounding the Sambisa Forest, as well as eastern Borno State and the area along Lake Chad, are likely to deteriorate to Emergency (IPC Phase 4) during the upcoming lean season, in the absence of further assistance. Significant areas within these regions remain inaccessible to humanitarian actors, and it is likely that outcomes are similar or worse than in adjoining accessible areas.

    January - August 2016 HUMANITARIAN NEEDS AND ICRC RESPONSE Millions of civilians are affected by the armed violence in North East Nigeria, including an estimated 2.1 million internally displaced persons (IDPs) and a 1.8 million host population. Moreover, violent communal clashes in the Middle Belt and violence in Niger Delta states have also affected the humanitarian situation. In 2016, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has significantly scaled up its humanitarian response for those most in need in the North East, in particular by providing food, shelter and essential household items. It also facilitates access to clean water, shelter and medical care, and strives to restore family links. Since the beginning of the year, the Nigerian Red Cross Society (NRCS) and the ICRC gained access and assisted residents and IDPs living in very difficult conditions in previously inacces- sible locations of Borno state such as Sabon Gari, Damboa, Dikwa Monguno, Gamboru-Ngala and others.

Dikwa town lies 90 km east of Maiduguri and is a gateway to Bama, Ngala, Mafa and Marte LGAs. • Nine of the ten wards in Dikwa LGA are inaccessible to humanitarian partners due to insecurity. The humanitarian response is therefore limited to the people in Dikwa town, who are dependent on humanitarian assistance due to lack of livelihoods opportunities. Most of the IDPs are farmers from the inaccessible neighbouring villages/LGAs. • The estimated population of Dikwa LGA is 113,9021, that includes 75,470 internally displaced persons(IDPs). 81 per cent of the IDPS live in formal camps, while 19 per cent live with the host communities. 38 per cent of households are female headed in the formal camp, and 23 per cent in the host community. • Priority needs are in the areas of shelter, food, livelihoods and sanitation. Congestion in the camps is a major challenge. Sangaya camp is the most congested followed by Klagaru camp.

Program: • Meeting with the military. • Visit to the reception centre for new arrivals. • Visit to the land expansion site. • Urban development. Air observations The duration of the helicopter flight from Maiduguri to Dikwa is 30 minutes. The helicopter follows the road from Maiduguri to Mafa and onwards to Dikwa. The rainy season is on and the landscape colours are now predominately green with patches of grey and sandy. The terrain is arid, yet green because of the rains, flat and without forests. Stagnant pools of water dot the landscape. Fields are tended around the major towns, but not in between. Isolated fires indicate burning of vegetation for farming. From Mafa onwards human settlements are destroyed and abandoned. Meeting with the military The acting Commande of 22 Brigade welcomed OCHA and IOM. The discussion focused on security, logistics, new arrivals, protection, IDP and refugee returns, and agricultural livelihoods. With the rainy season on, escorted road movements from Dikwa to Gamboru Ngala have slowed down because of deteriorated road conditions. Trucks, vehicles should be in good condition before embarking on this route. A critical location is Missini, after Logomani, situated half way between Dikwa and Ngala. Trucks which get stuck are rescued and taken to a nearby military unit.
