Insecurity Insight tracks reported incidents of violence and threats against aid operations, health care, education, and IDP camps across Nigeria. The collection includes conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV) records and data utilized in Safeguarding Health in Conflict Coalition (SHCC) annual reports. This monitoring effort provides incident-level details on humanitarian security through March 2026.
