The United Nations through Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator in Nigeria Mr. Edward Kallon has condemned Saturday night’s violent attack in Damasak town, in Borno State, Nigeria.
Three international aid partners’ facilities were directly targeted, set ablaze, and sustained damage.
“Civilians and aid workers, their facilities and assets should never be a target. They must always be protected and respected.
“I strongly condemn the attack, as humanitarian aid operations and facilities are the lifeline for people affected by violence and conflict in north-east Nigeria who are dependent on assistance to survive.” Kallon said.
UN also states that Humanitarian operations in Damasak will be reduced due to the violent attack, which will affect the support to 8,800 internally displaced people and 76,000 people in the host community receiving humanitarian assistance and protection there.
