Lake Chad Basin: Crisis Overview
(as of 3 October 2016)
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 critical levels.

Governments, regional organizations and aid groups have pledged a major increase in life-saving support for the millions of people affected by the crisis across the Lake Chad Basin. At a recent high-level event held on the margins of the UN General-Assembly, donors including Belgium, Italy, the United Kingdom and the United States pledged over US$163 million in humanitarian support for some 9 million people devastated by conflict, displacement and loss of livelihood. Boko Haram attacks continue to hamper humanitarian access and increase civilian protection risks. In the north-east of Nigeria, a recent spate of attacks targeting traders and food convoys in newly-accessible areas is raising concern. Following a lull in August, attacks attributed to Boko Haram have flared up in Niger’s Diffa region, with the gunmen raiding villages, torching houses and 4% operations 3% have 4%been killing1% civilians. Aid temporarily suspended in border localities in Chad’s Lac region due to worsening insecurity. Suicide bombings and IED blasts continue to be reported in Cameroon’s Far North region, hampering access to those most in need.
