Violence in the northeast has caused massive displacement and at the same time restricted movement: it has disrupted food supplies, seriously hindered access to basic services and limited agricultural activities. As of January 2017, it is estimated that 14 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance, 8.5 million of whom are in Adamawa, Borno, and Yobe states. Bauchi (2.8 million people), Gombe (1.4 million), and Taraba (1.3 million) also host high numbers of people in need.
