Nigeria Floods Leave 30 Dead, One Million Affected After Dam Collapse

Severe flooding in Borno State has submerged homes, displaced residents, and caused a major humanitarian crisis.

The Alau Dam in Borno State collapsed following heavy rains, leading to the worst flooding in the region in 30 years.
At least 30 people have died, and the number of affected individuals has surpassed one million, with 200,000 displaced.
The floods have destroyed infrastructure, including hospitals and schools, and caused significant damage to the local zoo, killing 80% of its animals.
Authorities are scrambling to provide food, shelter, and medical assistance to the displaced, with concerns rising over waterborne diseases due to contaminated water sources.
The flooding has exacerbated an already dire humanitarian situation in a region plagued by Boko Haram insurgency and high food insecurity.
