Midwife Topchin Job Goro, 28, weighs the newborn baby of Yanuma Mallama in the @unicef-supported clinic in Ngala, in northeastern Nigeria’s Borno State, on Oct. 11. According to Unicef, an estimated 250,000 women displaced by the conflict with Boko Haram give #birth every year. Some 50,000 of those deliveries will have complications that, without the assistance of a trained midwife, could result in the death of #mother or child. Yet security concerns mean there are less than 50 #midwives in the region. As TIME’s @arynebaker reports, they work in bare-bones clinics in camps for internally displaced persons with few resources, limited electricity and the constant threat of #violence. Last March, three health workers, including a midwife, were kidnapped by #BokoHaram in the town of Rann and held for ransom. Despite pleas for their release, one nurse, Saifura Hussaini Ahmed Khorsa, was killed on Sept. 16, and @icrc midwife Hauwa Mohammed Liman was killed on Oct. 15. “The news of Hauwa’s death has broken our hearts,” says ICRC’s Regional Director for Africa, Patricia Danzi. “We appealed for mercy and an end to such senseless murders. How can it be that two female health care workers were killed back-to-back? Nothing can justify this.” The women’s deaths, continues Danzi, "are not only a tragedy for their families, but they will also be felt by thousands of people in Rann and other conflict-affected areas of northeast Nigeria where accessing health care remains a challenge.” Photograph by @lynseyaddario for TIME
