Nigeria Consildated Emergency Report
January - December 2022
Highlights
At the beginning of 2022, an estimated 12.8 million people, including 8.1 million children and 4.7 million adults, were affected by conflict in North-East and Northwest Nigeria. Of these, over 2.3 million people were displaced, while 1 million were living in inaccessible areas. The alarming levels of food insecurity and malnutrition were due to the protracted conflict in the Northeast and growing hostilities in the Northwest. All of this was compounded by epidemic outbreaks such as yellow fever, cholera and malaria. In August, the most devastating flooding in a decade displaced another 1.4 million people and affected 3.2 million people in 35 of Nigeria’s 36 states. Half of those affected were children and 612 lives were lost. By the end of 2022, 5.4 million children were in need of humanitarian assistance and 2.7 million people were internally displaced.
