According to OCHA’s announcement, significant amounts of urgently needed medical supplies, equipment, and food stocks are stranded in neighboring countries.

It warned that the closure of airspace affects movement in and out of Niger with the consequence of putting the ongoing crisis into a humanitarian emergency.

OCHA said humanitarian exemptions from border and air closure sanctions are urgently required to allow humanitarian stocks to be replenished.
