The crisis in Nigeria’s North Central and North West zones, which involves long-standing tensions between ethnic and linguistic groups; attacks by criminal groups; and banditry/hirabah (such as kidnapping and grand larceny along major highways) led to fresh wave of population displacement.
Latest attacks affected 2,222 individuals, including 69 injuries and 28 fatalities, in Batsari LGA of Katsina State and Maradun, Bukkuyum, Maru, Talata Mafara LGAs of Zamfara State between the 30 November - 06 December, 2020. The attacks caused people to flee to neighboring localities.
A rapid assessment was conducted by field staff to assess the impact on people and immediate needs.
