UN: 5,700 deaths in Lake Chad
Violence continues to escalate in the Lake Chad Basin region, resulting in the deaths of approximately 5,700 people since last November and the displacement of over 3.5 million who have been forced to leave their homes. Additionally, 8.2 million people face severe humanitarian challenges due to ongoing attacks and the presence of terrorist groups such as Boko Haram and ISIS, particularly in Nigeria, Cameroon, and Chad, amid deteriorating security conditions and increasing risks for women and children. The United Nations warns that the crisis persists and calls for $29 million to support its operations.
