The town of Rann in northern Nigeria was hit by an aerial bombardment on 17 January 2017.

The Nigerian armed forces have claimed responsibility for the strike which killed at least 90 people and injured hundreds.

Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) was providing medical care in Rann at the time of the bombardment. MSF provided emergency medical care to the wounded in the bombing and helped evacuate severely injured.

On the one year anniversary of the bombing, we remember the victims.
