Nigeria, distribution in Muna Garage camp

On Sept. 18, Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) completed a three-day distribution of food and non-food items to 2,500 families with children under 5 years old in an internally displaced persons (IDP) camp in Maiduguri, Nigeria. MSF teams also carried out outpatient medical consultations, malnutrition screening and seasonal malaria chemoprevention — a preventive treatment for malaria — for children under 5. The camp, Muna Garage, is an informal camp where people displaced by the conflict Nigeria’s Borno state have taken refuge. Families received items including sleeping mats, blankets, jerrycans, soap and mosquito nets, as well as millet, beans and oil. MSF also donated vaccines and supplies to conduct a measles vaccination campaign.
