Muslim World League to support UNHCR’s project for displaced persons in Nigeria

GENEVA: The Muslim World League (MWL) has signed an agreement with the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) to support its child protection interventions’ project in northeastern Nigeria, which has received more than 2.1 million internally displaced persons since the start of the crisis in 2009.

The bodies said that these figures prove that the crisis has not ended and still has severe impacts on children separated from their biological parents or caretakers.

The MWL and UNHCR have agreed on the importance of joint cooperation to achieve their common objectives in providing protection and support for refugees and other persons covered by the UNHCR mandate and seeking to find sustainable solutions to end their suffering.

The agreement will help rescue children who had to flee, leaving their homes and families behind. Some of these children have been victims to or witnessed violence, in addition to their vulnerability to abuse, negligence, violence, exploitation, trafficking or military recruitment while they live in an unfamiliar part of their country.
