Report Synopsis
Nigeria (Lassa fever)
Date: 2016/01/22
On 19 January 2016 we responded to a funding alert in response to the outbreak of Lassa fever in Nigeria.
The Southern and Northern regions in Nigeria have been affected with an outbreak of an endemic acute viral hemorrhagic illness known as Lassa fever for the past three months. Communities and villages where health facilities are poor or not available are at higher risk. Women, especially pregnant women, are most vulnerable to the fever.

According to UN OCHA’s FTS, donors committed/contributed US$155.5 million of humanitarian assistance to Nigeria in 2015. The UN-coordinated 2015 Strategic Response Plan (SRP) for Nigeria requests US$100.3 million from donors to respond to the crisis. The appeal is currently 58% funded at US$57.9 million, and a further US$97.5 million has been contributed or committed outside the appeal.
