An estimated 8.7 million people in North-east Nigeria would need some form of humanitarian assistance in 2021.
in Nigeria published a report announcing that an estimated 8.7 million people in North-east Nigeria would need some form of humanitarian assistance in 2021.
The report added that about 6.4 million of this figure are targeted to receive aid as part of the UN and partners’ humanitarian response plan. But it said that as of June 17, the plan was less than 20 per cent funded. It was in response to similar challenges, among other reasons, that a Malaysian charity organisation, Yayasan Budi Ihsan Malaysia , instituted a humanitarian intervention programme for the underprivileged families during Eid-el-Kabir festival in the country in 2021.
A Nigeria-based humanitarian group- As-Safa Educational Foundation, has, therefore, commended YBIM for what it described as its support towards lifting poor Nigerian Muslim homes during the just concluded festival. The group, in an appreciation message to the charity organisation, and signed by the secretary of the celebration committee, Salami Mutiu, a PhD holder and lecturer in a Malaysian university, said a total of 4,000 heads of cattle and 2,000 goats were shared to the underprivileged communities across 15 states of the federation and the Federal Capital Territory to mark the celebration in July.
