Aid organizations raised concerns over an increase in suspected measles cases across displaced persons camps and host communities in Monguno local government area (LGA), Borno state. On 10 March, there were at least 131 suspected cases and six confirmed cases. Humanitarian health organizations have mobilized across camps and host communities and are intensifying the search for cases as well as isolating and treating suspected ones. Moreover, they have launched measles vaccination campaigns across hotspots in Monguno, prioritizing children who are the most vulnerable. Overcrowding across camps and host communities in the LGA increases the risk of the rapid spread of communicable diseases such as measles.
Nigeria, an African country on the Gulf of Guinea, has many natural landmarks and wildlife reserves. Protected areas such as Cross River National Park and Yankari National Park have waterfalls, dense rainforest, savanna and rare primate habitats. One of the most recognizable sites is Zuma Rock, a 725m-tall monolith outside the capital of Abuja that’s pictured on the national currency. ― Google
