Kano IDP: Red Cross raises alarm over humanitarian crisis

The Nigerian Red Cross Society, Kano branch, has raised concerns over the rising number of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) seeking refuge in the state.

Many of the displaced are forced to live in markets, motor parks, and un some cases, schools, as they struggle to find shelter.

Alhaji Musa D. Abdullahi, branch Secretary of the Nigerian Red Cross in Kano, highlighted the dire situation in an interview with DAILY POST.

He emphasized the urgent need for immediate intervention to provide essential resources such as shelter and clothing.

“These IDPs had everything, but they had to leave their homes with nothing because of the crises in their states,” Abdullahi stated.

The influx of displaced persons is reportedly linked to escalating insecurity in neighboring states, including Katsina, Sokoto, Zamfara, and other parts of northern Nigeria.

These regions have been grappling with a surge in kidnapping, banditry, and insurgency, forcing thousands to flee their homes.

Abdullahi called on governments at all levels to recognize the gravity of the situation and take swift action to address the growing humanitarian crisis.

The Red Cross’s appeal underscores the need for coordinated efforts by government agencies, non-governmental organizations, and other stakeholders to alleviate the suffering of those affected and provide sustainable solutions to the displacement crisis.
