Continuing rescue efforts in Nigeria following devastating floods • FRANCE 24 English

Rescue efforts are still ongoing in northeastern Nigeria’s Borno state following devastating floods that have claimed the lives of at least 30 people and left hundreds of thousands displaced. The floods, which occurred earlier this week, have caused widespread destruction and forced many residents to flee their homes.

Local authorities and humanitarian organizations have been working tirelessly to provide assistance to those affected by the floods. Rescue teams have been deployed to the affected areas to search for survivors and provide aid to those in need. Many have been rescued from flooded homes and taken to temporary shelters where they can receive food, water, and medical attention.

The aftermath of the floods has left communities devastated, with many homes and buildings destroyed. The heavy rains have caused rivers to overflow, leading to widespread flooding that has made it difficult for rescue teams to reach those in need.

The Nigerian government has declared a state of emergency in the affected areas, mobilizing resources to provide relief to those affected by the natural disaster. The international community has also stepped in to offer support, with aid organizations providing assistance to those affected by the floods.

As the rescue efforts continue, the focus remains on providing aid and support to those who have been impacted by the floods. The full extent of the damage caused by the disaster is still being assessed, and it is expected that the road to recovery will be long and difficult for those affected.
