National Emergency Management Agency, NEMA, says it registered 3,200 IDPs who fled from the recent terrorist attacks in Baga, Borno state. NEMA stated that a team was dispatched from Abuja to strengthen the provision of humanitarian support to the IDPs from Baga.
According to NEMA, the displaced individuals are being accommodated at the Teachers Village Estate.
A statement issued by the agency’s Press Officer, Manzo Ezekiel, stated that NEMA was providing the IDPs with basic supports in collaboration with the Borno State Government.
It said, “The creation of the new camp brings the number of camps to 11 where NEMA has been supporting the IDPs with food and non-food items.
“Apart from the IDPs from Baga, others in the camps are from towns and villages in the state which had been previously sacked by Boko Haram insurgency.
“The NEMA special intervention team is led by the director of search and rescue and they joined the staff at the agency’s zonal office in Maiduguri to strengthen the humanitarian intervention in the state.”
