Displaced Flood Victims Protest in Maiduguri Over Shortage of Food and Relief Supplies
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

In Maiduguri, Borno State, hundreds of displaced flood victims staged a demonstration today against the scarcity of food and relief supplies in the wake of the catastrophic flood that struck on September 9, 2024.

Over a million people were forced to flee their homes due to the flood, which also devastated vital infrastructure, depriving them of even the most basic requirements.

The protesters , who were primarily from the Baga Road neighbourhood, slowed down traffic at the intersection to voice their displeasure with what they saw as a lack of humanitarian supplies and relief efforts.

The situation was promptly addressed by CP Mohammed Lawal Yusufu, Commissioner of Police, who advised the displaced victims to maintain their composure.

CP Yusufu guaranteed, “The Borno State Government has instituted essential relief measures for their benefit in partnership with the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA), and other humanitarian organisations.”

He also issued a warning against obstructing traffic, stressing that doing so may jeopardise the peace and make rescue efforts more difficult.

The recent flash floods in Maiduguri affected around 239,000 people, with an undetermined number of deaths or injuries .

Floods have devastated key infrastructure, including bridges, and impeded access to hospitals, schools, and marketplaces.

According to the United Nations, 4.8 million people in Borno, Adamawa, and Yobe states are experiencing food and nutrition insecurity .

The floods have also increased the risk of disease epidemics, particularly in the overcrowded IDP camps.

Bottom Line

The protest by displaced flood victims in Maiduguri highlights the severe humanitarian crisis unfolding in Borno State due to the recent floods.

With over a million people displaced and vital infrastructure destroyed, the frustration of the affected communities is understandable.

When basic needs like food, shelter, and medical care are unmet, and people feel neglected by the authorities, protests are often the last resort to draw attention to their plight.

The scale of the disaster, compounded by an already dire situation in Borno where millions are suffering from food insecurity and living in overcrowded internally displaced persons (IDP) camps exacerbates the urgency of the situation.

The breakdown of infrastructure and the increased risk of disease epidemics create a scenario where timely intervention is crucial.
