None
A new UNICEF report says some 800,000 children have been forced from their homes in northeast Nigeria by an Islamic uprising, with many separated from their families and suffering abuse and emotional distress.
It says the number of refugee children has doubled in the past year. Children account for about half of all the 1.5 million made homeless in the Boko Haram conflict that has spilled across the borders of northeast Nigeria.
