The European Union (EU) has donated €1.1 million in humanitarian aid to Nigeria to support relief efforts in communities impacted by severe flooding.

Nigeria is one of six African countries benefiting from the EU’s €5.4 million aid package, aimed at assisting the most affected populations following devastating floods.

“More than 4.4 million people are estimated to be affected in the six countries,” the EU said. “Floods have led to the destruction of houses, public health facilities, water systems, schools and sanitation facilities as well as roads, infrastructures, and agricultural areas. Moreover, the lack of access to water, hygiene, and sanitation services is increasing the risk of spreading of waterborne diseases

Nigeria’s most recent flooding incident occurred in northern Borno state where over 800,000 residents were displaced in Maiduguri, the state’s capital. Its major markets were submerged under water and key facilities, including the State secretariat, hospitals, the federal Fire Service Station, Borno Radio and Television, and the state’s amusement park and zoo were hit.
