医疗机构的记录反映出危机的紧迫性。[1]索科托州医院报告称，自2月以来有近40名此前接受过营养不良治疗的儿童再次入院求医，表明儿童的健康状况正在恶化。[1]
The closure of the Strait of Hormuz and subsequent global oil price surge linked to Iran tensions have triggered steep increases in fuel and food costs across Nigeria, intensifying poverty and food insecurity in the West African nation [1]. The United Nations Children's Fund has warned that the Middle East conflict is pushing millions of Nigerian children into malnutrition and monetary poverty, with severe implications for their long-term development [1].
President Bola Tinubu's economic reforms have contributed to elevated inflation, with the World Bank reporting that 139 million Nigerians face poverty or vulnerability [1].
