In August, farmer Bulama Mohammed said people were dying of hunger in his camp in Maiduguri, Borno state capital BBC
The medical charity MSF says that the humanitarian situation in north-east Nigeria "is reaching catastrophic levels".

BBC Africa Live report continues:
Hundreds of thousands have been displaced during the Boko Haram insurgency and many are in desperate need of help, MSF adds.
A team from MSF go to the town of Ngala, Boreno state, and found people who "desperately lack food and healthcare".
A nutrition emergency was declared three months ago, but there has not been much response, MSF says.
In July UNICEF warned that almost a quarter of a million children in parts of Borno state were suffering from severe malnutrition.
