Today's three stories you should know.

Nigeria

Another part of the world is suffering a growing hunger crisis away from the gaze of most of the international media. More than 1.3 million children below five are likely acutely malnourished in northeast Nigeria, according to the UN. About 8.4 million people, mainly women and children, need aid and the situation has been exacerbated by the Nigerian government’s ongoing war with the Boko Haram armed group. Al Jazeera today carried a harrowing report from the frontlines of the crisis.

Peru

Ninety-eight riverboat passengers have been freed by an Indigenous group in Peru’s Amazon region that had been holding them to pressure the government to address pollution caused by oil spills. Indigenous leader Wadson Trujillo said the passengers - who were from Peru, Germany, the UK, the US, France and Spain - had set sail along the Maranon River to continue to their destination. Trujillo pledged that the residents of Cuninico would continue to protest until the government declared an emergency in the region to deal with the pollution from spills in 2014 and September this year.
