The United Nations (UN) has pledged to support the Borno State government in rescuing and assisting people trapped by severe floods that have devastated the state capital city and environs.

The UN Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator in Nigeria, Mohammed Malik Fall, made the announcement in Maiduguri on Saturday, following a visit to assess the situation.

Fall emphasised that the visit was aimed at gathering first-hand information on the flood victims and determining their immediate and long-term needs.

He noted that the floods have claimed the lives of 37 people, with 58 others hospitalised due to injuries and health complications.

“Today’s visit to Borno was to meet with the affected flood victims, local authorities, humanitarian partners, government officials, and representatives from UN agencies and donors,” Fall said during the briefing.

The floods have displaced over 414,000 residents across Maiduguri and parts of Jere local government area of the State, while also damaging critical infrastructure, including bridges, hospitals, schools, and markets.

The disruptions have hindered healthcare services and business activities, further complicating the lives of those affected.

The UN’s top priority, according to Fall, was the immediate evacuation and rescue of people in high-risk areas, followed by providing essential supplies and support.

He also expressed concerns about the potential for disease outbreaks due to the flooding.

Governor Babagana Zulum, who was also present during the visit, called for a comprehensive flood disaster assessment in collaboration with the UN and development partners.

“We need reliable data on the extent of damage to both lives and property,” Zulum said, stressing that the federal and state governments cannot manage the crisis alone.

The governor further mentioned plans for cash transfers to support the flood victims, underscoring the importance of international cooperation in addressing the ongoing disaster.

As the situation evolves, both the UN and the Borno State government were working closely to provide relief and prevent further loss of life.
