Cameroon: famine?
Many Nigerian Christian refugees who fled to Cameroon to try and escape Boko Haram as well as internally displaced Cameroonians are now facing hunger, it was reported in August.
Many refugees fled to Cameroon, which is around 70% Christian, to escape from Boko Haram, only to find that the group expanded its operations and began attacking communities in northern Cameroon. Some displaced Christians have faced further violence from Muslim cattle herders for attempting to grow crops in the bush. Schools and hospitals in the area are also non-functioning.
