IRRC No. 96
Help to War Victims in Nigeria
Reading time 2 min read
Abstract
Material relief action undertaken by the ICRC in Nigeria and in the secessionist state (Biafra) has made it possible to feed almost one and a half million people. The size of the operation has overshadowed the International Committee's activities of protection and information in these regions: visiting prisoners of war, mail routing via the Central Tracing Agency, evacuation of the seriously wounded and of foreigners. Nevertheless, all these are presenting the ICRC with very real problems.
