Mubi. A wide area of northern Nigeria is suffering the effects of fighting between Boko Haram and Nigerian armed forces. More than 40,000 people fled to neighboring Cameroon. By the time they returned, crops and food stocks had been raided. The ICRC responded by distributing seed and fertilizer to more than 3,500 returning farmers. The ICRC has trained farmers in how to improve their yields. Farming families have also received enough food for a month, to ensure that hungry families don’t resort to eating the maize seeds that are meant for planting.
