MAIDUGURI, Nigeria, July 29 (UPI) -- Suspected Boko Haram insurgents ambushed a U.N. humanitarian aid caravan in northeastern Nigeria, injuring five people and delaying deliveries of supplies.
The Nigerian military reported three civilians and two soldiers in a military escort were injured Thursday, and that the wounded are recovering in a Maiduguri hospital. A U.N. statement said aid deliveries to Borno state, where two million people have been displaced and up to 250,000 children are severely malnourished, were temporarily suspended.
