Thank you @UNReliefChief!
This timely funding will help scale up #cholera response efforts by the @NigeriaGov & international partners with cases now worryingly exceeding 6,000.
Jun 7
In North-East Nigeria, rapidly spreading cases of cholera are placing millions at risk.
I’ve allocated $4M from the UN’s Emergency Fund, CERF, to help humanitarians provide fast treatment, safe water and sanitation, and community outreach to contain the outbreak.

Climate action is not a burden. It is an investment in health, prosperity & peace. Acting on climate could save millions of lives & trillions in economic losses by 2050. On #WorldEnvironmentDay, I reaffirm @UN support to @NigeriaGov in accelerating #ClimateAction. #NowForClimate
