Nigeria cost of living protests

A two-day general strike is taking place in Nigeria in protest at rising prices. Nigeria is currently experiencing its worst economic crisis in a generation, leading to widespread hardship and anger. The government promised measures to help households and small businesses on the eve of the stoppage. We explain why Nigeria's economy is in such a mess, and three business owners share how the situation is affecting them.

As part of the BBC’s special day of coverage, we bring insights on life inside Gaza and speak to our Gaza correspondent, who himself has now left the territory.

Presenter: James Reynolds.
