Nigeria faces siege and food shortages
The city of Gidam in Yobe State, northeastern Nigeria, experienced a three-day armed siege following an attack carried out by militants from the Islamic State – West Africa Province on a military base in the city. Authorities imposed a round-the-clock curfew and prevented residents from leaving their homes due to the jihadists' blockade and the possibility of further attacks. The assault has led to a deteriorating humanitarian situation, with shortages of food and difficulties in obtaining basic supplies, as clashes continue in the area, which is one of the most affected regions in Nigeria over the past 17 years of conflict.
