Additional Information / Shotlist More than 12,000 Nigerian refugees have left the only refugee camp in Cameroon to return to Nigeria in search of a better life.

They say there is not enough water, food and shelter in Cameroon.

People sell food rations to pay for the trip back.

They arrive in Banki in Nigeria, only to discover that it is a militarised camp they cannot leave.

Some are transported to another town called Pulka.

Insecurity prevents them from farming and they are reliant on aid to survive.

In Banki and Pulka, the living conditions are poor and both towns lack the capacity to accommodate further people.

The lack of appropriate shelter and cramped living conditions increase the risk of outbreaks of disease

Despite this, people continue to leave the camp in Cameroon: around 1,000 people left for Banki on June 17th. And also to Pulka: another 800 people arrived on June 19th

MSF provides healthcare in Banki and Pulka, and another nine towns in Borno state.
