U.S. Pledges $37 Million Aid For Victims OfBoko Haram

The United States on Wednesday pledged$37 million in aid for victims of Boko Haram, government officials said, as fears of a famine mounted in the ravaged Lake Chad region.Despite Boko Haram losing many territory in the northeast as a result of a renewed military offensive, millions are still going hungry after years of attacks disrupted farming and supplies.The US government will provide “more than$37 million in additional humanitarian assistance” the United States Diplomatic Mission to Nigeria in Abuja said. “Approximately five million people need emergency food assistance.”The money for food would be directed to communities in the Diffa region of Niger and is part of a coordinated effort to get more food into the area.
