EU PROVIDES €5.4M IN RESPONSE TO FLOODS IN SAHEL AND LAKE CHAD REGIONS                                                                                       23-09-24

By Sadiq Aminu                                                                   The European Union has released €5.4 million euros in humanitarian aid to help the most affected populations in the aftermath of the devastating floods in Chad, Niger, Nigeria, Cameroon, Mali and Burkina Faso.

In a statement, the EU delegation in Nigeria and ECOWAS says more than 4.4 million people are estimated to be affected in the six countries.

It explains that 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.

The statement cited lack of access to water, hygiene, and sanitation services as responsible for increasing the risk of spreading of waterborne diseases.

The amount will be distributed as follows: Chad €1,000,000; Niger €1,350,000; Nigeria €1,100,000; Mali € 1,000,000; Cameroon €650,000 and Burkina Faso €300,000

The funding comes in addition to €232 million in humanitarian assistance already allocated to these countries so far this year.

EU Commissioner for Crisis Management, Janez Lenarčič, said: “Excessive rainfalls have lashed the Sahel and Lake Chad regions with unprecedented impact, displacing millions and causing widespread suffering and damage.

He said “We are mobilising all means at our disposal to help the most vulnerable in the flood-stricken countries, so they can receive much needed relief.”
