UN assesses attack on refugee camp in Nigeria as disaster


UN High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi assesses the airstrike in Nigeria as "a disaster". According to the UN envoy, it is necessary to find out who bears the responsibility for the attack and ensure that such things will not happen again.


As reported earlier, the Nigerian army mistakenly bombed a camp of displaced people in Rennes, situated at  Cameroon’s border. More than 70 were killed and more than 100 people injured in the attack. ICRC employees were among the victims.
