尼日利亚部队成功救出163名被圣战分子扣押的人质，这些人质大多为妇女和儿童，已在本周五被移交至夸拉州伊洛林进行医疗救助[1]。这批获救人员是本周救出的300多名受害者的一部分[1]。尼日利亚总统廷布将此行动称为"有史以来最大的单日救援行动"[1]。
人质在2月3日于沃罗村遭绑架，当时圣战分子还杀害了160多人[1]。在被关押的6个月里，这些人质遭受了严重的苦难，包括食物短缺、目睹死亡和疾病威胁[1]。许多获救者身体衰弱，带有伤痛和心理创伤[1]。其中一名人质玛丽·伊沙亚表示："我们看到了死亡和苦难"[1]。
在被囚禁期间，护士阿米拉·萨利乌在森林中用双手帮助约10名孕妇分娩[1]。美国为尼日利亚提供了军事支持，主要限于后勤和情报收集[1]。
Nigerian military forces have rescued 163 hostages who were held captive by jihadist militants for six months. [1] The majority of those freed were women and children who endured severe hardship during their detention, including food shortages, witnessing deaths, and disease. [1] The rescued individuals were transferred to authorities in Ilorin, Kwara State, on Friday for medical assistance, with many arriving in weakened condition bearing physical injuries and psychological trauma. [1]
The hostages were abducted on February 3 from Woro village in an attack that also claimed the lives of over 160 people. [1] This rescue operation is part of a broader series of recoveries, representing more than 300 victims freed this week. [1] President Tinubu described the operation as "the largest single-day rescue operation in history." [1]
Survivor accounts underscore the dire conditions faced during captivity. Mary Ishaya stated: "We saw death and suffering." [1] Nurse Amira Saliyu recounted using her bare hands to assist approximately ten pregnant women with childbirth while in the forest. [1] The United States has provided military support to Nigeria, with assistance primarily limited to logistics and intelligence gathering. [1]
