Air Strike on Displaced Camp in Nigeria ‘Kills Dozens’

Dozens of people were killed on Tuesday when an air force jet bombarded a camp for those made homeless by Boko Haram in northeast Nigeria, medical charity MSF and a local resident said.


“A military jet mistakenly bombarded Rann,” in Borno state, Abba Abiso told AFP, adding that “at least 25 people were killed and many more injured”. MSF said its teams “have seen 120 wounded and 50 dead”.
