Aid agencies have long warned about the risk of food shortages in northeast Nigeria because of the conflict, which has killed at least 20,000 since 2009 and left more than 2.6 million homeless. In July, the United Nations said nearly 250,000 children under five could suffer from severe acute malnutrition this year in Borno state alone and one in five — some 50,000 — could die. / AFP PHOTO / STEFAN HEUNIS](https://www.afriupdate.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/idps-1062x598-1.jpg "Army pledges support to Borno govt relocation, resettlement of IDPs 6")
