Nigeria is facing a complex humanitarian crisis caused by conflict, displacement, and natural disasters. The northeastern states of Borno, Adamawa, and Yobe have been particularly affected by over a decade of violence from Boko Haram and other armed groups, displacing millions. Food insecurity, worsened by inflation, conflict, and climate change, remains a critical issue, particularly for children. The crisis is further compounded by communal violence, farmer-herder conflicts, and banditry in the Middle Belt and northwest regions.

With support from ECHO, Manos Unidas, Misean Cara, UNHCR, BPRM, and Alboan, JRS provides assistance to refugees and displaced populations in key sectors, including mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS), water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), child protection and case management, livelihoods, and the distribution of food and non-food items.
