— West Africa is in deep trouble. Countries like Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso are facing a deadly mix of famine and violence. Food is running out fast because of constant fighting. Millions are hungry, and aid workers can’t get supplies to those who need them most.

Over 3 million people have been forced from their homes by terror groups like Boko Haram and ISIS. Many now live in crowded camps with little clean water or health care. Diseases like cholera are spreading quickly, making things even worse.

Governments in the region have declared emergencies and sent troops to fight extremists. But these crackdowns sometimes hurt innocent people too, making the situation more unstable.

Groups like the UN say urgent help is needed right away. If nothing changes soon, experts warn this crisis could shake all of West Africa for years to come.
