On March 18, the town of Buea in the South-West region was hit by torrential rain that resulted in floods and mudslides from Mount Cameroon. The devastating impact of the natural disaster left two people dead and four others injured, while 150 people living at the mountain's foot were severely affected, particularly in the localities of Bova, Bokwai, and Buea town.

In addition to the loss of life and physical injury, the floods also caused significant damage to livelihoods, shops, and personal belongings, leaving approximately 500 houses in the area without access to drinking water.

Humanitarian organizations have described the situation as critical and have called for immediate assistance in several areas, including water, sanitation, hygiene, shelter, health, education, and protection.

The affected people urgently require access to clean water, sanitation facilities, and shelter to protect them from further harm. Medical assistance is also critical for those who were injured in the disaster, while educational support is required to ensure that children are not deprived of their right to learn.

Humanitarian organizations are working tirelessly to provide assistance and relief to those affected by the floods. However, the scale of the disaster requires significant resources, and additional support from the international community will be crucial to ensuring that those impacted can recover from this tragedy.
