Two million children are suffering from severe acute malnutrition in Nigeria, with only 20 per cent receiving nutritional and other treatments they desperately need. Acute malnutrition is now contributing to nearly half of child deaths under five in the affected areas. The North-East and North-West regions are hardest hit, with millions of children and pregnant women facing malnutrition due to poor food access, unsafe water, and the secondary effects of ongoing conflict. The Nigerian Red Cross Society is on the ground providing vital health, nutrition, and protection services, but urgent funding is needed to scale up their efforts.
