The document highlights the escalating humanitarian crisis in Northeast Nigeria, where ongoing conflict, climate shocks, and economic hardship have left millions without safe shelter or basic necessities. Despite targeting over 1.4 million people for Camp Coordination and Camp Management (CCCM) and 1.5 million for Shelter/Non-Food Items (SNFI) in the 2025 Humanitarian Response Plan, funding remains critically low—only 1.9% for CCCM and 4.6% for SNFI have been secured. As a result, more than 920,000 internally displaced persons (IDPs) lack adequate shelter and essential items, facing increased risks of disease, protection threats, and repeated displacement.
Recent disasters—including floods, fires, and evictions—have further strained resources, with reception centers at risk of collapse and many humanitarian partners withdrawing due to funding shortfalls. The appeal urgently calls for donor support to provide safe shelter, essential non-food items, and effective camp management, aiming to prevent further displacement, reduce protection risks, and stabilize humanitarian access across the BAY states.
