[ 16th Mar 2021, North east Nigeria ] Congestion remains a major challenge for IDPs in camps: about half of the camps are highly congested with IDPs living below the Sphere standard of 45 square metres per person. Congestion is due to unpredictable or spontaneous population movements and new arrival flows, unplanned settlements, and lack of land to extend the current settlements. Secondary displacement in reaction to military operations and hostilities and seasonal flooding in some LGAs also congests camps. The consequence of congestion is that IDPs are living in deplorable conditions with heightened vulnerability to disease outbreaks, epidemics, and other hazards such as fire and flooding.
[ 5th August 2021, north east Nigeria ] More than a quarter of households in the north east are food insecure.

[ 16th Mar 2021,North east Nigeria ] Host communities: Humanitarian conditions: intersectoral severity of needs Almost 4.5 million people live in the 49 LGAs that are classified as having extreme and severe intersectoral vulnerabilities and needs. Many of these people face challenges similar to those of IDPs and returnees. Many of these locations suffer insecurity because of fighting between security forces and NSAGs, or cordon and search operations. Current family structures deepen host communities' vulnerability: there is a high dependency ratio  ( children to adults ) , 15% of the households are female headed, and 16% of households have a family member with a mental or physical disability.

[ 16th Mar 2021,North east Nigeria ]  Conflict and Insecurity: The so called ‘super camp' strategy adopted by the Nigerian security forces means that it has limited ability to control of areas outside garrison towns. Likewise, the NSAGs' strategy appears not to be to directly control areas, but rather to conduct hit and run attacks against military targets and civilian settlements. The situation remains fluid and unpredictable, and any short  or medium term end to the conflict is unlikely. Civilians continue to be targeted in NSAG raids on villages and attacks on public spaces, triggering new and secondary displacements.

[ 16th Mar 2021,North east Nigeria ] Host Communities: Coping mechanisms: As stated above, many households have limited access to farming inputs and other livelihood assets. In many parts of the BAY states, there is significant shortage of credit supply at reasonable interest rates. Any shock that a family suffers can force sale of already depleted productive assets, or resort to short term borrowing  ( loan sharks ) . Farming households who lose their crops can be forced to consume seed, and then go further into the debt trap to secure the next season's inputs. Some households reportedly have to marry off their young girls to raise funds to repay debts, and also to create alliances with better off families
[ 8th March 2021, Nigeria ]  For instance, climate change has caused shifts in pastoralist migratory patterns, pushing herders into areas traditionally dominated by farming communities and fueling resource competition between these two groups, which has led to dramatic levels of violence in recent years. Tensions between pastoralists and farmers have been increasingly instrumentalized by Boko Haram and other armed groups  ( including listed terrorist groups ) , which take advantage of these tensions to build alliances with and mobilize communities across the Sahel, including from North West Nigeria.

Two civilians were reportedly abducted last week while tending their farms, and another attempted abduction was reported this week near the Government Girls Technical School  ( GGTS )  camp. Civilians are also routinely stopped and asked to show identity documents at illegal vehicle checkpoints  ( IVCPs )  that NSAGs have maintained for more than seven weeks along the Damboa Biu road. IVCP incidents were also recorded this week along the MaiduguriDamaturu and Monguno Gajiram highways with at least two civilians abducted and commercial vehicles carrying goods/merchandize carjacked.
[ 5th Mar, 2021, Nigeria ]  Nigeria has demonstrated that putting people at the centre of the AIDS response works in advancing HIV service delivery. The 2018 Nigeria HIV/AIDS Indicator and Impact Survey identified 10 states with HIV prevalence above 2%, nine of which had a significant unmet need for HIV treatment and were at risk of being left behind if no action was taken. These states were prioritized by the national AIDS response for concerted action with the help of the United States President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief  ( PEPFAR )  and the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria  ( Global Fund ) .

[ 16th Mar 2021,North east Nigeria ] A key deficiency suffered by many of the affected people across the BAY region is loss of livelihood. This is exacerbated by persistent gaps in civil administration and state function   social and economic infrastructure, security, law enforcement and justice. The COVID 19 pandemic aggravated the situation by further restricting freedom of movement, which hit people relying on trade, casual labours and agriculture as a source of income. Such restrictions are now largely lifted but the economy has not yet made up for lost ground.
