[ 1st January 2021, North East, Nigeria ] The chart below shows that a more significant percentage of the respondents agreed that assistance is delivered to allow engagement and consultations with community groups with only 2.34 percent disagreeing. 9.26 per cent of the respondents did not know if assistance was delivered in a way that allows for engagement and consultations or not. On a larger scale, compared to the results from the baseline survey, a decline of 3.46 per cent highlights the need for improved consultation with the community prior, during, and maybe after the delivery of assistance.
[ 9thDec2020,BAY states  ] However, approximately 4% of the children admitted in the SCs died. The major cause of mortality is attributed to caregivers seeking health and nutrition treatment only when their children are presenting advanced poor nutritional status and medical complications. The delay in seeking treatment is often due to use of traditional herbal concoctions and the lack of nutrition services in areas affected by insecurity. Three children have died every day in the BAY states on average since the beginning of the year.
[ 9thDec2020,Nigeria ] The number of severely acutely malnourished children admitted into the nutrition treatment programme continues to be high compared to September 2019. The number of children with severe acute malnutrition admitted into the treatment programs increased by 30% in September compared to August, clearly indicating a seasonal period of high prevalence of malnutrition lasting longer than in previous years.
[ 9thDec2020,BAY states ] The nutrition situation in the BAY states significantly deteriorated in September with increased rates of acute malnutrition attributed to the reduced access to food during the ongoing lean season  ( increased food prices, low harvest )  and disease outbreak. Continued insecurity also generated disruption of health and nutrition services and new population displacements.
[ 9thDec2020,Nigeria ] To address the continued increase in acute malnutrition rates, the Nutrition sector requires additional resources including Ready to use Therapeutic Food  ( RUTF ) , supplementary foods to expand MAM treatment, and funding to expand the stabilization centres capacities. The sector also requires MUAC tapes to scale up the family/mother MUAC approach to ensure households are empowered to monitor the nutritional status of their children. The sector will also require resources to strengthen the existing surveillance system and monitor the nutrition situation.
[ 1st February 2021, North East Nigeria ]  In Yobe State, armed men suspected to be NSAG, attacked INGO staff at Garin Gada community in Yunusari LGA.

Two people were killed when one driver attempted to escape.
[ 9thDec2020,Borno State  ] The volatile security situation has immensely affected the response. Shelter and NFI Sector activities  ( Shelter and NFI )  have been hindered and Partners movements are restricted. Areas where people are most in need, such as Magumeri, are hard to reach for aid workers. Indeed, a needs assessment conducted in Magumeri in August highlighted the urgent need for shelter and NFI for the new arrivals. However, they have not yet received assistance due to the difficulty to access the area. Land Issues continue to affect humanitarian action directly across Borno State Local Government Areas  ( LGAs )  since most available land is outside the military safety perimeter, where movement is restricted
[ 9thDec2020,Nigeria ] Internally Displaced Persons  ( IDPs )  in camps, IDPs in host community and returnees who are living in makeshift shelters or shelters that are either partially or completely damaged and affected by floods. Up to 1,522 HH of IDPs , including 800 HH inMagumeri and 627 HH in Gongulong, were sleeping out in the open and constrained to use inadequate materials to construct provisional shelters. They have limited access to NFIs and fully rely on humanitarian assistance to survive. A better, durable solution is needed to address the risks and vulnerabilities of the affected population and reduce dependency on humanitarian assistance
[ 9thDec2020,north east Nigeria ] There is a growing number of under nourished and separated infants as a result of the COVID 19 pandemic, increased population displacement and armed conflict.

[ 9thDec2020,Yobe and Adamawa states ] The prolonged lean season had added pressure on the low stabilization centres capacities to cope with the increased rates of SAM cases with medical complications who require intensive medical care and increased mortality rate. The Sector requires additional resources to increase the coverage of SCs in Yobe and Adamawa states and to establish temporary SCs in partially accessible areas like Magumeri and Gubio LGAs.
[ 9thDec2020,Borno,Yobe State ] The main challenge facing the Nutrition sector is the lack of capacity to effectively respond to sudden onset emergencies due to escalating insecurity.

They suggested door to door distribution of assistance, which should be made available in large quantities. With a 0.82 per cent decline when both surveys are compared, assistance must be provided for all groups in need in a safe and easy accessible manner.
[ 22nd Aug 2021, Adamawa State ]  Logistics: Gross shortage of response commodities at the CTC WHO donated 20 cartons of Ringers Lactate, 10 Cary Blair & 10 RDT Kits for cholera to State Ministry of Health and Human Services Commodities are to be centrally supplied to the CTC store and to keep records of all requisition
The country's food insecurity and resulting malnutrition can also be attributed to poor funding for sustainable policies, limited mechanized farming, poor rural development, and prohibitive practices that disenfranchise women farmers. About 9 out of 10 Nigerians cannot afford a healthy diet. Nigeria has the second highest burden of stunted children across the globe, and millions of children suffer from acute malnutrition. The COVID 19 pandemic has worsened the hunger situation, particularly impacting food supply and prices.
[ 1st January 2021, North East, Nigeria ] Only a few respondents think that some level of concerns/risks are experienced due to the delivery of humanitarian assistance. As such, 631  ( 6.51% )  of the respondents said there are concerns/risks experienced due to the delivery of assistance, citing in consideration of large family size, loss of cards, and a limited quantity of assistance provided as the major reasons. However, 93.49 per cent of the respondents said there were no concerns/risks experienced as a result of the delivery of assistance.

[ 31st Mar 2021, Nigeria ]  When displacement occurs, family and other social structures become broken, and IDPs experience trauma and a sense of loss regarding their identity. Prolonged displacement also leads to anxiety about their future. Community based counselling, focus group discussions, and safe spaces should be introduced across all displacement phases to help IDPs share their experiences and seek support.
During Round 37, IDP assessments were conducted in 2,397 locations  ( up from 2,396 locations in the Round 36 assessments ) . Assessed locations included 308 camps and camp like settlements  ( similar to Round 36 )  as well as 2,089 locations where internally displaced persons were living among host communities  ( up from 2,088 in Round 36 ) . The purpose was to better understand the gaps in services provided and the needs of the affected population. Site assessments included an analysis of sector wide needs, including shelter and non food items, water, sanitation and hygiene  ( WASH ) , food and nutrition, health, education, livelihood, security, communication and protection.
[ 5 July 2021, Yobe state ] While the majority of those displaced have moved back to different locations in Yunusari and Geidam  ( about 126,000 according to SEMA estimates ) , others, including the 54,000 are still unable to return mostly due to security concerns and are in urgent need of multi sectoral assistance particularly food, NFIs and protection services. Based on findings from a recent multi sectoral needs assessment  ( MSNA ) , OCHA continues to intensify engagements with Government and relevant sector partners to develop an operational plan that will guide the rapid scale up of the multi sectoral response.

But during the lockdown, though mobile courts were operating, cases of abuse     especially sexual and domestic abuse     were deprioritized.
