An urgent scale up of the humanitarian response is needed to avoid deadly consequences in Nigeria's Borno State. This is according to the global medical aid agency Doctors Without Borders or MSF. Since May, MSF has been witnessing an unprecedented influx of malnourished children to its nutrition centre in Maiduguri, suggesting an alarming nutritional crisis in Borno.

For more on the situation, Channel Africa's Jane Rabothata spoke to MSF medical coordinator in Nigeria Dr Htet Aung Kyi.
