Cover photo: Atai and her children pose in front of their make-shift shelter in the one of the IDP camps in Maiduguri, Nigeria.
It is largely constructed from burlap sacks. Atai had lived with her family, working as a tailor, in her village, Bama. Just over two
years ago, Atai and her children fled when Boko Haram attached the village. Boko Haram kidnapped her daughter and killed
her husband during the brutal attack. © IOM/Muse Mohammed, February 2016
