Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>At least 20 persons have been confirmed dead in the last two weeks in Gashua, Bade local government area of Yobe State amid the collapse of houses due to heavy rainfall.<\/p>\n

While confirming the incident, the Executive Chairman of the local government area, Babagana Ibrahim, said many residents are now taking refuge in three designated camps.<\/p>\n

Ibrahim said that the government was providing the immediate needs of the displaced persons such as food items, medical care, hygiene kits, clean drinking water, and food to protect them from any disease outbreaks.<\/p>\n

The local government boss appealed for more support from the federal government and donour agencies.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe number of the displaced persons has risen to about 3,000. We need the federal government and donour agencies to support states and local government areas affected by flood in providing relief materials to them.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been raining these days and many houses are collapsing, especially mud houses. This morning alone, four people have been confirmed dead in Gashua.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlready, the two federal roads leading to Gashua have been cut off in the last ten days, making it difficult for the humanitarian workers to respond to the needs of the displaced persons,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He has directed those living in mud houses to vacate to forestall further casualties from the flood.<\/p>\n
