The size of the dangerousness of the movement Boko Haram, is not only political and in connection with the expansion of Islamic terrorism, but actual effect on the balance of social and humanitarian problems in countries in which it operates. The tragic accounts of the victims said that since 2009 have killed more than 13,000 people and the size of the displaced, those forced to flee to escape the violence fundamentalist, have become of such proportions as to warrant the declaration of emergency humanitarian assistance. Within the country of Nigeria are 650,000 refugees, while they found refuge in Niger 160,000 people, 17,000 and 50,000 in Chad to Cameroon. Sanitary situations that have been created due to the lack of preparation for the sudden arrival of displaced people, are of absolute emergency: these are people who have lost everything and for which there are sufficient resources to satisfy the basic needs. The International Committee of the Red Cross, spoke of a humanitarian emergency that involves the four neighboring countries, entered the sphere of action of Boko Haram. Hospitality involves schools and government, but most of the population is housed in makeshift refugee camps and therefore unfit for monitoring the health situation. The sudden flights have also resulted in the division of families, creating a further element of great distress. To be abandoned are mostly the rural areas, where farming is paramount; with the abandonment of crops is also likely to trigger problems of livelihood for the people, adding to the danger of famine serious health situation of the displaced. The pressure of the arrival of refugees within the target community, creates serious problems of supply, considering that we are in areas where the amount of food is not already abundant in normal situations. The impact on the economy of these territories are evident in the most negative possible trades food more accessible as fish and cereals, have declined significantly so going to affect both the appearance of accessibility to food supplies, the economic sector that argued. The direction of flight of many refugees from the primary sector was addressed forcefully to almost desert areas, where the exercise of agricultural activity was greatly reduced; Also natural events such as floods disrupted harvests, contributing to aggravate an already difficult objectively. The activities of the Committee of the International Red Cross is taking place in a critical situation, in spite of this you have built health facilities and is rationalizing food stocks to overcome the difficult time, but just according to the international organization responsible for the effort the product is not enough to handle the crisis. Without a personal commitment of foreign powers, perhaps under the auspices of the UN, it is difficult to see a positive solution. The best solution would take two paths simultaneously: one, that the massive humanitarian aid, in order to alleviate the suffering of the people on the run and make acceptable his stay, which must be temporary, the second must cover the unfortunately inevitable military response, it too late to come from African countries. So far only France has committed in the first person, through allied government of Chad and especially to protect their infrastructure. But the dangerous evolution of Boko Haram, which aims to bind with the Islamic movements operating in Libya, is likely to make fundamentalism since arriving on the shores of the Mediterranean. This aspect is no less dangerous than the spread of the caliphate in areas Syrian and Iraqi and should be fought with great commitment. The reluctance to engage directly from the Western powers is understandable but not acceptable: both the humanitarian emergency, that one linked to terrorism, which are then intimately linked, are part of the responsibilities of the rich part of the world, even to protect itself.
