The United Nations, UN International Organisation for Migration says it is supporting some communities in war-ravaged North-East Nigeria with water and other basic infrastructure, to help in resettling displaced residents.
A statement by the organisation’s Nigeria Head of Sub-office, Dave Bercasio, said access to water would help displaced indigenes and residents of communities that had been under the death-grip of insurgency.
He recounted the difficult experience people in some of the communities go through to access water. He said that his organisation had intervened to provide some succour for the residents.
The official said that about seven point one million people in the North-East were in dire need of humanitarian assistance. He added that the Korean Ambassador had donated seven point five million dollars to support humanitarian efforts in Borno State in 2018.
