BBC World Service - BBC OS, Nigeria: Over 300 schoolgirls kidnapped

We speak to parents in northern Nigeria where the recent school abductions have happened

We speak to parents in northern Nigeria where the recent school abductions have happened.

More than 300 schoolgirls have been kidnapped by unidentified gunmen from a school in Nigeria's north-western Zamfara state. This is the latest mass abduction targeting schools in northern Nigeria in recent weeks. We'll bring you the latest on the story and speak to two parents in the north who are concerned about their children's safety.

Also, we continue to bring together people from across the world to share their experiences of how the coronavirus pandemic has affected their lives. Today we speak to three oncologists - doctors who specialise in cancer care - to hear how cancer treatment and patients have been impacted by the pandemic.

And every day we are joined by a health expert to help us understand the latest news about coronavirus and to answer your questions. Today our guest is Dr Megan Murray - Professor of Global Health and Social Medicine at Harvard University.
