As many as 75,000 kids In Nigeria hazard dying in ?a couple of months? as starvation grips the nation?s besieged north-east in the wake of the Boko Haram militancy, the United Nations cautioned on Tuesday.

Our assessment is that 14 million people are identified as in need of humanitarian assistance. Of them, 400,000 children are in critical need of assistance, while 75,000 could die in the few months ahead of us
Peter Lundberg, UN humanitarian coordinator
