There has been a resurgence of polio in Nigeria. After nearly two years of relative quiet, the dreaded virus has made a comeback. Four cases were found in Borno state, the epicenter of a devastating war that has caused the deaths of about a 100,000 people, displacement of 1.9 million people, and has left 2.5 million people suffering from severe acute malnutrition. More than 5 million people — including women and children — require food assistance.
