> The US-Israel war on Iran is raising food and fuel costs in Nigeria, where many families already struggle to afford basic meals. Health workers warn that higher living expenses are exposing more people, especially children, to malnutrition. Farmers cite surging fertiliser and labour costs, while fuel prices rose by about 50 percent in many areas days after the war began.
