Emergency Appeal: Nigeria Flood Relief

In 2022, Niger and Benue rivers broke their banks from shedding of excess water from Lagdo Dam in Cameroon, leading to flooding across 31 States of the Federation.

Over 1 million people are now affected and about 800,000 Nigerians are now living in displacement.

The losses include loss of lives, damage to houses, livestock, and farmlands.

Schools and health-care centers have been affected too, with many of them flooded and others taken over by displaced persons.

ActionAid Nigeria has begun providing food, non-food items and dignity kits to affected households.

Pregnant and Nursing mothers, children and women-headed households are at the heart of our intervention.

Till date, about 6,000 people across Jigawa, Bayelsa, Benue, Delta, Kogi and Anambra have been supported.
