<p>The UN children’s agency says 1.4 million children overall are “on the run” in Nigeria and neighbouring countries where the group has sown terror in recent months.</p>
<p>More than half of the 1.2 million children who have fled northern Nigeria are aged under five.</p>
<p>Spokesman Christophe Boulierac says Unicef is in “full operational mode” in the region but has received less than a third of the US$50m funding it has sought for the Lake Chad region.</p>
<p>Speaking at a UN news conference in Geneva, Mr Boulierac also appealed for renewed attention on the 219 girls abducted in April last year from a school in Chibok, Nigeria.</p>
