In Nigeria’s Benue state, over 220,000 people have been displaced because of escalating communal tensions over
resources and land.

NAME:
Kubur
Displaced in Benue, Nigeria

“I have lived here for five years, since we were attacked and escaped.

TEXT LOCATION:
Mbawa camp. Home to 8,000 displaced people.

"It's so hard! When there were no killings, I could go to my relatives and get food, but it is no longer safe there. Our people cannot go to their farms.”

“Some days we go to millet farms and help with the harvest.
They give us some grain that we roast and eat. Some days, we go without food.”

TEXT

In 2021 violence further escalated, causing more displacement.

TEXT

About 8,000 people who have fled recent attacks live in a new camp called Ortese.

“I escaped to this place from Mbagwen.

They killed two of our people and set fire to our motorcycles.
Some of us escaped the bullets and arrived at this place traumatized.”

TEXT

When MSF arrived, many children were severely ill.

“I took my baby to the clinic because he has a high temperature and diarrhea, and was vomiting.
I had no other way to get medicine.”

They tested him and the nurse said it was malaria.”

TEXT

In the camp there is a lack of adequate shelter, protection, and services.

“It is difficult to get water, especially during the dry season.
Getting firewood to cook is also a problem.”

TEXT NAME:
Prosper Ndumuraro is MSF Project Coordinator in Benue
"Even the services that MSF is giving in a few IDP camps are not enough.
So we have gaps almost in all services: food, non-food items, appropriate shelters, water and sanitation, and primary healthcare.

TEXT

MSF has been working in IDP camps in Benue since 2018.
There are very few other organizations present in the camps.
