The UN Office for Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UN-OCHA) says humanitarian organisations have provided agricultural and livelihood support to more than 2.8 million displaced persons in North-East in the past six months.

It said in its Humanitarian Situation Report for June that the beneficiaries that were drawn from Adamawa, Borno and Yobe were provided with food items, seeds, fertilisers and other farm inputs, to enable the people to resume their normal lives.

The report showed that about two million displaced persons were supported with food intervention in the period under the Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP).

“Over 2.8 million people have been supported with food security interventions as part of the 2018 HRP, two-third of whom were supported with food and the remainder with agricultural and livelihood assistance since January.
