UNHCR Niger Factsheet: Diffa Region, January 2021
Attachments
Almost 12,000 new arrivals in Sayam Forage Camp during the second half of 2020
The Diffa region hosts 265,696* Nigerian refugees, internally displaced persons and Nigerien returnees. More than 80% of them live in spontaneous settlements. (*Government figures)
Since April 2019, movements are restricted on many roads following attacks, kidnappings and the increased use of explosive devices.
The security situation has a strong negative impact on the economy of the region, reducing opportunities for both host and displaced populations.
