Following the insurgent attack on the island of Karamja on 25 April, during which 46 Niger soldiers and 28 civilians were killed, Niger authorities in the Lake Region have ordered thousands of people in villages on the islands to evacuate.
UNHCR has completed the distribution of NFIs in 5 north-eastern States (i.e. Adamawa, Borno, Bauchi, Gombe and Yobe) meeting the projected target of 13,000 households, which include 65,000 individuals selected among the most vulnerable IDPs.
UNHCR issued a revised Supplementary Appeal on 8 May, which covers the needs of refugees and IDPs in countries of asylum, as well as those of IDPs in Nigeria.
