UNHCR finds major protection issues in newly accessible parts of Nigeria

Most civilians living in areas of northern Nigeria recaptured by the armed forces from Boko Haram since the start of the year still face serious protection problems and lack the most basic assistance, with women particularly at risk. It goes without saying, that the more vulnerable the women, the more vulnerable the children would be too. Boko Haram insurgents have been a major cause of concern for years in Nigeria and its citizens can only hope for the end to their actions which has killed hundreds of thousands.
