The United Nations (UN) will on Thursday launched the 2025 Nigeria Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan (HNRP), scheduled to hold between 9:00 am to 12:00 pm at the United Nations (UN) House Auditorium in Abuja, Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
Penpushing reports that this was contained in a statement made available on Monday explaining that in 2025, an estimated 7.8 million women, men, and children across Borno, Adamawa, and Yobe (BAY) states will require humanitarian assistance.
The statement emphasized that of these, over 1.8 million have been forced to flee their homes and are internally displaced due to persistent violence. Additionally, nearly 1.4 million people have returned to their homes but lack access to essential services and livelihoods, while about 4.6 million are host community members, who are also facing the consequences of the conflict.
‘In response, the humanitarian community will launch the 2025 HNRP to address the needs of those affected by this multi-faceted crisis. The launch of the HNRP serves as a critical opportunity for the Government of Nigeria at both State and Federal levels, local organizations, donors, and the international community to demonstrate their continued commitment to supporting affected people in north-east Nigeria
