Magnum Photographers 

Political, economic, ethnic, and religious tensions led to the secession of Biafra from Nigeria. On July 6, 1967 Nigerian federal forces advanced into Biafra and established a blockade that lasted until 1970. The conflict would gain world-wide recognition due to the large number of Biafran fatalities due to starvation.
