 On January 18th, 2020, at around 6.45, the IOM Managed Humanitarian Hub in Angala, Borno State, was attacked by non-state armed group. Large sections of that hub were affected and effectively destroyed, and at least one vehicle was burned down and two other vehicles were damaged. The effect of this and the intended effect of this is to intimidate the humanitarian actors working in Northeast Nigeria. We have seen this as a pattern where humanitarian workers are increasingly targeted. Just in 2019, 12 humanitarian workers were killed and two of them were still in captivity. We urge all parties to the conflict, to respect all international instruments, including international humanitarian law, and to ensure that the safety and security of civilians and those who are risking their lives provide comfort and relief to those displaced by the conflict, to respect their security and to respect their safety. Prior to the hubs, humanitarian workers could only go on day trips, so they go one day at a time to deliver services. These hubs are the ultimate enablers to allow the humanitarian workers to improve the quality of the response, to allow the humanitarian workers to have enough time on the ground to do what they're supposed to do, to make sure that life is saved and that our fellow human beings have some level of comfort and they can leave even though they're living in congested camps, so at least the basic services are provided to them. That is important and this is what I'm asking all those involved and all those parties to conflict, to respect international humanitarian law and all of the international instruments pertaining to how we operate in a conflict environment.
