A general view of destruction caused after a fire broke out at Muna Alamdiri camp near Maiduguri on November 15, 2023. At least two children died when a fire swept through an informal camp for displaced people in northeast Nigeria, destroying more than a thousand tents, emergency officials said on November 15, 2023.
The fire broke out in Muna Alamdiri camp near the Borno State capital Maiduguri, where thousands of people have taken refuge in recent years fleeing from fighting in rural areas in the country's 14-year jihadist war.
National Emergency Management Agency official Mannir Gido said the cause of the fire was still under investigation, though fires are quite frequent in the camps. (Photo by Audu MARTE / AFP)
