Human Rights Watch is warning that more than 200,000 people in north-east Nigeria who have been displaced by an Islamist insurgency are struggling to meet their basic needs for food and shelter.
The rights group said the problem was exacerbated by the Borno state authorities shutting down camps for internally displaced people.
It said by August this year more than140,000 people had been removed from the camps and told to go home.
The state government said they needed to be weaned off humanitarian aid and that the security situation had improved.
