Nigeria Hit by Heavy Rains

Body

On 27 July, floods resulting from heavy rains destroyed over 800 shelters for internally displaced persons (IDPs) in the Government Senior Secondary School (GSSS) camp in Monguno local government area in Borno State. At least 113 shelters were seriously damaged. Camp Management and Camp Coordination partners responded immediately by pumping out the floodwater and delivering sandbags to fill up affected areas, while humanitarian partners secured assistance with kits to repair damaged shelters. Water, sanitation, hygiene, and health partners had in recent months ramped up preparedness measures to mitigate risks of water-borne disease outbreaks such as cholera. Rainstorms are expected to continue over the coming weeks as the rainy season progresses.
