EU unveils €225,000 aid for 7,700 conflict-displaced persons in Kebbi

The European Union (EU) has released €225,000, equivalent to about N340 million, in humanitarian assistance to support communities displaced by escalating armed attacks and communal violence in Kebbi State. The funding, announced on Wednesday, will enable the Nigerian Red Cross to provide emergency assistance to conflict-displaced persons across the state over a six-month period. The intervention would reach approximately 7,700 displaced people living in temporary settlements and host communities, with priority given to the most vulnerable groups, including female-headed households, persons with disabilities, elderly people and individuals facing acute protection risks. The EU said the assistance was necessitated by a severe deterioration in the security situation across seven Local Government Areas of Kebbi State, where organised banditry, armed group activity and communal violence have triggered significant population displacement. According to the EU, displacement had been ongoing since mid-August, but a sharp escalation in violence around August 31 served as the operational trigger for the humanitarian response. The escalation has affected more than 16,600 people across the state, including 7,706 people who have been displaced and 108 others who sustained injuries. Under the intervention, the Nigerian Red Cross will provide multipurpose cash assistance to enable displaced families to address their most pressing needs according to their individual circumstances. The cash-based support is expected to assist affected households with essential requirements, while protection services will be provided to people considered particularly vulnerable to further harm.

The EU said the intervention would also help lay the foundation for longer-term recovery efforts by other humanitarian and development actors operating in the affected communities. The humanitarian situation has left displaced families in temporary sites and host communities facing urgent needs for shelter, food, clean water, healthcare and protection.
