The International Committee of the Red Cross, ICRC, said that it is monitoring the killing and other crisis situation in the South East. Communication Coordinator, ICRC Nigeria, Robin Waudo, made this known on Thursday in Enugu at a one-day engagement with media practitioners. Waudo said they are monitoring the situation, with a view of knowing when to extend its humanitarian service to those affected by the crisis currently rocking the region.

The Communication Coordinator however added that ICRC cannot predict when the humanitarian intervention will come, adding that they have assisted thousands of persons affected by armed conflicts in the North East. He revealed that in 2021, the organisation distributed assistance-related material to over 500 thousand persons worth millions of naira to people affected by the crisis in the North East. Waudo pointed out that the engagement was to cement the relationship between the ICRC and the media practitioners, who he described as a critical partner in their activities.
