(Picha) Watu waliolipuliwa na Boko Haram

Ni hatari sana kwenye maisha hawa ni wahanga waliolipuliwa na bomu kupitia kundi linalotishia sana maisha ya binadamu huko nchini Nigeria (Boko Haram's).


Watu wengi wamopoteza maisha 17,000 na wengine kujeruhiwa kwa kukatika mikono na miguu na wote wamelazwa hospitali ya Maiduguri, Nigeria.

Maimed by suicide bomber: Twelve-year-old Isa Lawan sits with a bandaged stump on his right arm after his hand was amputated following injuries from a Boko Haram attack in Maiduguri in northeast Nigerian Borno State. Since Boko Haram Islamists began their deadly insurgency nearly seven years ago, some 17,000 people, if not more, are estimated to have been killed. At least as many have been injured

Additional finance comes from support funds but the burden of attacks has been heavy, stretching overworked staff and meagre resources
