Countries in the Lake Chad Region, Nigeria, Niger, Cameroon, and Chad, are to benefit from the European Union’s €102.5 million humanitarian aid, according to the bloc.
A statement signed by the bloc indicated that the EU made the pledge at the 3rd High-Level Conference on the Lake Chad Region which holds in Niamey from January 23 to 24.
The Lake Chad region, which is located in the far west of Chad and the northeast of Nigeria, and also extends to Niger and Cameroon, is one of the world’s most protracted conflict and crisis environments. The funding will help vulnerable communities in the four countries in view of the deteriorating humanitarian situation in the region.
