people are also at risk of severe hunger.
In May, we and our partners in Nigeria appealed for nearly $400 million to respond to the most severe needs in the three states through September. So far, this appeal is 51 per cent funded, with just over $200 million received.
As a result, we’ve been able to reach 2.5 million people with food assistance and more than 580,000 children and women with preventive and treatment services for malnutrition.
We urgently need funds for preventive nutrition supplies and other gaps at a time when the prices of food and fuel are rising.
