Abuja, Nigeria As the Nigerian capital of Abuja crawled out of sleep on a recent morning, Aisha Hassan quickly prepared food for her family of five before taking her 3-year-old daughter to a makeshift structure serving as the clinic for the internally displaced persons camp where they have been living for two years.
Originally from Gombe in northeast Nigeria where the Boko Haram terrorist group has operated for a decade, Hassan, like tens of thousands of others, was forced to relocate to Abuja in 2018, with the few belongings she could get hold of.
