Over the last few years, Boko Haram insurgencies has forced more than two
million people out of their homes in northeast Nigeria. While many live
in displacement camps supported by international aid, the majority live
with family, friends and strangers in local communities.

provided by the International Organization for Migration (IOM) in Banki
town, Borno State.
"We came here nine months ago because Boko Haram entered our village and terrorized us - forcing young girls to marry and killing men around me,” he told IOM.
"They burned our houses and schools. They stole our livestock. We’ve finally found peace here"
