Highlights
A total of 17,684 new cases of children with Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) have been treated in October in the 414 Community Management of Acute Malnutrition (CMAM) sites in 8 Sahel States - Kebbi, Sokoto, Zamfara, Katsina, Kano, Jigawa, Yobe and Borno
The cumulative number of children reached from January to October is at 179,452; of these 166,233 are from Sahelian states and 13,219 from non-Sahel states - Bauchi, Gombe, Adamawa
The funding gap for Nutrition Crisis is 60%. The funding shortfall for the sectors beyond nutrition places constraints on UNICEF integrated response (esp. WASH) to scale up plans to reach more vulnerable children.
According to the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) the number of IDPs related to floods reduced, between Nov 15th-30th, from 387,153 to 84,679. The UNICEF Representative and emergency M&E person conducted a mission to some of the flood affected States from the11th to the 16th of November to review on-going humanitarian response, especially in sectors where UNICEF is the lead agency or co-leads. The Mission visited 5 states(Delta, Bayelsa, Anambra, Benue & Kogi) states and observed that Camps were at the verge of official closure and the State governments in the process of commencing the “recovery interventions” as the IDPs return to the communities.
84% of Cholera cases until Nov 30th are reported from non-flood affected States (Kaduna, Zamfara and Gombe)
