Evacuees have said thousands of Nigerians told to leave neighboring Niger in the past week due to threats from Boko Haram militants have died en route from lack of food and water.
Niger has evacuated Nigerians living around Lake Chad, military and aid officials told Reuters on Tuesday, as the armies of four west African nations battle to quash the Islamist militants.
The United Nations humanitarian coordinator OCHA said that 25,000 people had arrived in the towns of N'Guigmi and Bosso in southeastern Niger after fleeing their island homes on Lake Chad.
OCHA said most of these families needed shelter, food and water.
