Episode description
In North West Nigeria, where more than a decade-old crisis has claimed the lives of about 20,000 people and displaced no fewer than 600,000 more from their homes, the provision of humanitarian aid often comes with an irreparable price. Sometimes, death or, if you’re lucky, abduction. In the middle of that dire strait, aid workers have continued to chisel a small window, defying the many odds stacked against them. They continue to provide what little support they can in the wake of a global decline in humanitarian funding.
In this episode, HumAngle spoke with aid workers from Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) about what it means to work in the region and how they are overcoming the many challenges.
