Aid cuts hit Nigeria as UN warns of growing food crisis for millions in West Africa

For over a decade, tens of thousands displaced by conflict in Nigeria have relied on food aid to survive. Now, that aid is running out as international donors cut funding, forcing agencies to scale back operations. Conflict and insecurity prevent displaced people from returning home or farming to support themselves. The UN warns that millions across West and Central Africa face worsening hunger amid funding shortfalls. The World Food Programme says it needs $620 million to avoid suspending operations in the region. Organisations like MSF report alarming rises in malnutrition, especially among children. With food prices soaring and climate impacts deepening, aid workers fear a looming humanitarian catastrophe. Al Jazeera’s Ahmed Idris reports from Maiduguri in Borno state, Nigeria.
