At least 56 people have been killed and 67 injured in multiple suicide attacks at a camp for refugees in north-eastern Borno state, an emergency official has told the BBC.

The attackers detonated their explosives while the refugees were queuing to collect food rations, he added.

The incident occurred at a camp in Dikwa town yesterday, but details are only emerging now because of a lack of telephone communication in the area.

The camp was set up for people fleeing violence unleashed by militant Islamist group Boko Haram.
