Aid partners distributed food and condiment rations to some 64,442 people across camps and host communities in Pulka town, in Gwoza local government area of northeastern Borno State, to cover their needs for four weeks. Nearly 900 people had arrived in Pulka town between February and April 2021, fleeing different locations in Borno and Adamawa States, and many were facing food shortages. Some 580 pregnant and lactating women and 810 children under two years old also received double rations of nutritional supplements. The food distribution and nutrition support are part of a strategy to avert severe food shortages and prevent a nutritional deterioration, especially in hard-to-reach areas as the lean season is underway.
