The United Nations has temporarily suspended aid deliveries in Borno State after a
humanitarian convoy was attacked, the UN children’s agency Unicef said
on Thursday.
Unicef said in a statement that unknown assailants attacked the
convoy on Thursday as it returned to Maiduguri from delivering aid in
Bama, injuring a Unicef employee and an International Organization for
Migration contractor.
"The United Nations has temporarily suspended humanitarian
assistance missions pending review of the security situation," it said.
Nearly a quarter of a million children in Borno suffer from
life-threatening malnourishment and around one in five will die if they
do not receive treatment, Unicef said earlier this month
Médecins Sans Frontières said on Wednesday
that severely malnourished children were dying in large numbers in
north-east Nigeria where food supplies are close to running out.
