It is World Humanitarian Day and this year, the world is paying a special tribute to the real-life heroes who have committed their lives to helping others in the most extreme circumstances throughout the world.
This year, COVID-19 has been the biggest challenge to humanitarian operations around the world.
In northeast Nigeria, the amount of people in need of life-saving aid has risen as the pandemic worsens the situation of the most vulnerable population in Borno, Adamawa and Yobe states.
United Nations Humanitarian Coordinator in Nigeria Edward Kallon says the number of people needing humanitarian assistance is the highest recorded in five years of a joint humanitarian response as more than 10.6 million people, out of a total of 13 million people will need some form of humanitarian assistance this year.
