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.
Nigeria, an African country on the Gulf of Guinea, has many natural landmarks and wildlife reserves. Protected areas such as Cross River National Park and Yankari National Park have waterfalls, dense rainforest, savanna and rare primate habitats. One of the most recognizable sites is Zuma Rock, a 725m-tall monolith outside the capital of Abuja that’s pictured on the national currency. ― Google
