“We are now faced with 11 million people in desperate need of humanitarian aid. 7.1 million are severely food insecure. Severely food insecure, if you want, is a technical term that we get from the World Food Programme and from the Food and Agriculture Organization. What it really means is that people are living on the edge. They are surviving on, if they can, one meal a day.”

5. SOUNDBITE (English) Toby Lanzer, Regional Humanitarian Coordinator for the Sahel, United Nations:
“At the moment, with 515,000 children across the Lake Chad region who we know are either or are about to be severely and acutely malnourished. If they don’t get the help they need on time, they die.”

7. SOUNDBITE (English) Toby Lanzer, Regional Humanitarian Coordinator for the Sahel, United Nations:
“In the space of one week, last week, we had 45,000people who fled from The Gambia into Senegal; an additional 7,000 people who fled from The Gambia into Guinea-Bissau. Now, not a very large number, but actually in proportion to the population of Gambia it was an enormous movement of people. They are now well on their way back to The Gambia.”

“We expect 500,000 people in Mali to be severely food insecure this year. And that’s actually 20 percent more people than was the case in 2016.”
