Abuja: At least 25 people died and 11 more have gone missing after a heavy downpour triggered flash flooding in Nigeria’s northeastern state of Adamawa, a federal agency said Tuesday.
The flooding which began on Sunday in five communities in the Yola area of the state, has so far displaced 5,560 people, the NEMA said. A camp for displaced people has been set up at Aliyu Musdafa College in Yola, and basic necessities have been provided, NEMA said.
“The presence of both governmental and non-governmental partners have been significant, contributing to the effective management of the humanitarian situation,” it said.agencies
