On Monday 16 March 2026 at around 7:00 pm, three explosions were reported in a market, at the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital (UMTH) and at a post office in Maiduguri, Borno state, Nigeria. According to the authorities, 23 people were killed and 108 injured. All Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) staff are safe and accounted for. However, the main gate of University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital (UMTH), where MSF supports the Diphtheria Treatment Unit (DTU) was one of the places targeted in the attack. The DTU is located far from the gate and was not directly affected. MSF teams have sent a team of doctors, nurses, pharmacist and logisticians to support the Nigerian authorities in responding to the emergency.
