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. After the situation in Mubi calmed down in December 2014, returnee farmers faced severe difficulties in restarting their livelihoods because they had no income from which they could buy seed or fertilizer. Their depleted food reserves would only have been enough for a few months. The ICRC responded by distributing seed, fertilizer and food to more than 3,500 reurning farmers.
