Zamfara, Nigeria. A neglected crisis.

The Nigeria’s northwest has, over the years, been battling with security challenges that have led to the killing of over 8,000 and displacing 200,000 people from 2011 to 2019, according to International Crisis Group and currently about 69,000 IDPs in the Zamfara state according to UNHCR.

Tens of thousands of people were forced from their homes in Zamfara state, in particular from the north. Thousands of people fled to the town of Anka in search of safety and shelter. Villages in Zamfara are being attacked by armed groups almost on a daily basis and the people continued to be displaced.

MSF is the only international NGO permanently working in the area. MSF is present in Anka since 2010 and works in two other locations, Shinkafi and Zurmi, since 2019. In Shinkafi and Zurmi MSF runs a number of services in the general hospitals.
