BACKGROUND

Over a decade into the conflict, the humanitarian crisis in north-east Nigeria remains high due to protracted crises characterized by severe protection concerns, heightened health risks, and daily threats to the well-being of displaced populations.

As of June 2024, the Borno State government has facilitated closure and, in some cases, partial relocation for 17 IDP sites affecting 35,522 HHs representing 166,775 individuals. Borno state has 215 IDP camps (62 formal, 153 informal sites) and 473 host community sites representing 372,139 HHs (1,711,481 individuals).

Out the overall IDP population in the BAY states, the majority of the IDPs in Borno’s 88% come from within Borno 82%, Adamawa 3% and Yobe 3%, the 8% in Adamawa 7.8% are from within Adamawa and 0.1% from Borno while the 4.8% IDPs in Yobe 4.6 are from within Yobe and 0.2% from Borno and 0.02 from Adamawa.

The camp closure by the Borno State Government has also resulted in spontaneous sites around urban and peri-urban areas, or influx in existing camps thus spiking humanitarian needs.
