Lake Chad Basin: Crisis Overview
(as of 23 Aug 2016)
Displacement trends
Population movement and violent incidents in the most affected areas
Background The violent conflict in the Lake Chad Basin has continuously deteriorated. Boko Haram raids and suicide bombings targeting civilians are causing widespread trauma, preventing people from accessing essential services and destroying vital infrastructure. Around 21 million people live in the affected areas across the four Lake Chad countries. The number of displaced people in the most affected areas has tripled over the last two years. Most of the displaced families are sheltered by communities that count among the world’s poorest and most vulnerable. Food insecurity and malnutrition in the affected region have reached alarming levels.

On 28 July, a humanitarian convoy returning from Bama to Maiduguri was attacked by suspected Boko Haram elements. The convoy included staff from UNICEF, UNFPA, and IOM. The United Nations temporarily suspended road and overnight missions to Bama. On 21 July, UN agencies conducted the first cross-border aid delivery from Cameroon to Nigeria’s Banki town located 2 km from the Cameroonian border, on 21 July, providing food and basic household items to 15,000 displaced people. Humanitarian organizations issued a 90-day-plan summarising the immediate priority needs between July and the end of September in the Lake Chad Basin, requesting US$221.6 million, including $96.7 million for food security. Many areas across the Lake Chad Basin are expected to experience acute food insecurity until September, as households are 1% 4% 3%their food 4% needs and only marginally able to meet resorting to tough coping strategies. Hunger and malnutrition remain high in much of the conflict-hit areas.
