[ 30th Jul, 2021, Nigeria ]  Only 48% of the population has “sustainable' access to clean water, with 44% having access to good sanitation.89 Key challenges for the health sector include a weak healthcare system characterized by constrained governance systems, low levels of health care financing and inadequate financial protection for the poor, low levels of research for health and poor community participation and utilization of health services   particularly child and maternal services. These challenges significantly increase the sector's vulnerability to anticipated climate change impacts.
[ 26th Jul   1st Aug 2021, Yobe State ]  The total number of contacts who completed 14 days of monitoring without symptoms is two thousand, one hundred and twenty six  ( 2,126 )  • The total number of samples collected is eighteen thousand, nine hundred and sixty one  ( 18,961 ) . Four hundred and ninety nine  ( 499 )  results are positive, sixteen thousand, six hundred and forty four  ( 16,644 )  are negative, forty two  ( 42 )  for a repeat test, and one thousand, seven hundred and seventy six  ( 1,776 )  remaining sample results are pending.
[ 30th Jul, 2021, Nigeria ]  Additionally, flooding due to sea level rise is estimated to affect approximately 550,000 people by 2070. This could also result in food and water contamination and the increased risk of water and vector borne diseases. Nigeria's water and sanitation infrastructure is not well prepared to handle the projected increase in intense precipitation. Climate change will also likely exacerbate health issues related to respiratory infections  ( already responsible for 19% of deaths in Nigeria )  as air pollution is expected to worsen with rising temperatures.92 Almost 130,000 deaths per year are attributed to household air pollution from indoor burning of cooking fuel. Extreme heat intensifies ground level ozone, which combines with fine particulate pollutants  ( soot and dirt from coal combustion, diesel engines, or fires )  and chemicals like carbon monoxide or sulfur dioxide to reduce air quality, especially in urban areas. Malaria, the number one cause of death for children under 5 in Nigeria, is sensitive to changes in temperature and rainfall.
[ 30th Jul, 2021, Nigeria ]  While Nigeria is making progress towards the achievement of the health related Sustainable Development Goals, the country still has significant challenges for public health regarding access to and availability of quality health care services and continues to have one of the highest burdens of disease globally. The prevalence of infectious and parasitic diseases such as, malaria  ( 141 in 100,000 ) , tuberculosis  ( 282 in 100,000 ) , HIV/AIDS  ( 3.9% of the population )  and Schistosomiasis remains high. Additionally, diabetes and cardio vascular diseases are becoming significant health problems.
[ 30th Jul, 2021, Nigeria ]  Nigeria is highly vulnerable to the adverse health implications from projected future climates for the country, including increased temperatures, more intense and frequent extreme weather events and heavy rainfall, and increased duration and severity of aridity and drought. These trends are likely to result in increased water and food insecurity, higher exposure to heat stress and ultraviolet radiation, changes in infectious and vector borne disease transmission patterns.
[  3rd August 2021, Borno state ] Limited partner presence and critical services have resulted in major WASH gaps in Dikwa LGA, raising the risk of water borne disease outbreaks such as acute watery diarrhea  ( AWD ) /cholera as the rainy season gathers momentum. The upsurge of violence which targeted and affected aid assets prompted a temporary reduction of humanitarian presence since mid April, disrupting the ongoing scale up including the prepositioning of critical WASH supplies to mitigate risks of disease outbreaks due to flooding. Field sources report that 96 blocks of latrines, 30 shower facilities, 50 tap heads and boreholes are all broken or partially functional. This gap forces affected populations to resort to unsafe sources for water needs, while open defecation cases have also jumped.
[ 26th Jul   1st Aug 2021, Yobe State ]  Coordination: • The SMOH, with the support of WHO and partners, is coordinating the implementation of COVID 19 response activities in all LGAs of the state • Conducted regular COVID 19 response coordination meetings with partners and stakeholders.

Since the beginning of the year, a total of 539 samples have been collected with positivecasesasfollows 182RDT positive only; 55 culture positive; 237RDT and culture positive. The test positivity rate ( TPR ) for laboratory confirmation by culture is 32.2%.
[ 30th Jul, 2021, Nigeria ]  Land degradation and soil erosion, exacerbated by recurrent flood adversely impacts agricultural production, disproportionately affecting the livelihoods of the rural poor. Food security will be influenced because of the vulnerability of some crops to increasing temperatures and/or water stress.52 Despite improvements in the country's 2018 food security situation due to sustained humanitarian assistance, policy actions, and government interventions in the agricultural sector, the food security and nutrition situation remains fragile in northeastern Nigeria where food is still the biggest unmet need of Internally Displaced People  ( IDPs )  in camps and camp like settings. Vulnerable households are not able to cultivate enough land nor do they own sufficient livestock to cover their food needs. The country's ongoing conflict also continues to have a direct impact on people's nutrition status that is further exacerbated by weak health infrastructures and food insecurity.
[ 26th Jul   1st Aug 2021, Yobe State ]  Surveillance and Epidemiology: • All 17 LGAs have recorded at least a confirmed COVID 19 case  ( s )  • The case fatality rate amongst confirmed cases is 1.8% • The positivity rate for week 30 is 0%.

For example, in February 2021, bandits demanded ₦800 million to release the kidnapped Kagara schoolboys.

[ 31st December 2020, Borno state ] Health: There were inadequate health facilities in the communities, most people had difficulty coping with health issues and emergency situations that often happen following terrorist attacks in the community. The health facilities they have usually do not have medication to give the sick.
[ 31st December 2020, Borno state ] Additional, as most GBV cases are rather reported to community leaders and family members, there is need for a well structured GBV cases management system across the communities in Borno State.
[ 31st December 2020, Borno state ] Those needs are persistent and have aggravated in the wake of COVID 19, eroding livelihoods, hindering service access and placing pressure on host communities and resources. In light of this, there are still many information gaps to be filled, especially the effect of those drivers and humanitarian needs on households' and individuals' physical and mental wellbeing. The impact of COVID19 on children is devastating and cut across all sectors.
[ 31st December 2020, Borno state ] HOUSEHOLD NEEDS  ( Shelter ) : The loss of jobs and livelihoods which worsened as a result of COVID 19 has affected the ability of individuals to pay for rent and consequently squatting with others.

Support activities that aid the stimulation of improved supply chain for distribution of food items to communities. Support targeted distribution of food and non food items to people living with disabilities within the communities.

[ 31st December 2020, Borno state ] Declining means of livelihood: The predominant means of livelihood in the villages before the Corona virus was farming and trading. However with the lockdown, there was restricted movement and reduced farming activities. This resulted in a decline in farming activities and also affected the ability to secure farming essentials like fertilizers and farm tools which in turn caused a decline in farm produce that would have been sold at the community market hence affecting the means of livelihood of many families in the area. There was also a serious decline in harvest produce due to the restrictions placed on daytime activities because of the insecurity in the area. These conditions have further affected them as many of the youth began to engage in illicit activities like stealing.

Only by empowering recipients to meet a variety of needs can we harness the full potential of CVA in a sustained manner.
