Additional Information / Shotlist Since November 2015, displaced people have settled in Yarrom. BokoHaram attacks in the area of Lake Chad in the west of the country forced them to flee their homes .This has affected host communities, as they need to share their scarce resources with them. Since June 2016, MSF has been running mobile clinics in six new sites on the Liwa-Daboua road, close to the Niger border. With many parts of Lake Chad now drying up, communities are now finding themselves completely isolated and unable to harvest due to the lack of water. Currently, the most common medical conditions seen in MSF clinics are linked to the difficult living conditions and the lack of access to clean water.
