INTER-AGENCY REGIONAL REFUGEE RESPONSE AT A GLANCE
The aim of the appeal is to continue to mobilize support for a response to a deteriorating situation in Nigeria that worsened as insurgents expanded their deadly attacks also in the neighboring countries: Niger, Chad and Cameroon. Today with over a 1.2 million IDPs in Nigeria and over 192,000 have crossed the border to these neighbouring countries seeking safety and protection and the absorption capacity of the crisis by the region and the available basic services are overstretched.
