A United Nations Food Programme report has said that three million people in Borno State are struggling to meet their food needs.�
The report also said that close to 2.1 million people have been forced to leave their homes due to conflicts.�
The UN agency said an upsurge in violence in the North-East of Nigeria had resulted in a fresh wave of displacement, cutting off access to farming lands.
It said, �Nearly three million people are struggling to meet their food needs in Borno, Adamawa and Yobe states. That could rise to more than 3.8 million people in the June-August lean season.
�Close to 2.1 million people have been forced to leave their homes.�
According to the report, the WFP provides life-saving food and nutrition products to internally displaced persons, returnees, young children and pregnant or breastfeeding women.
�WFP has conducted rapid assessments of the current situation, to inform its ongoing response,� it added.
WFP is the food-assistance branch of the UN and the world�s largest humanitarian organisation addressing and promoting food security.
