Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The United Nations (UN) has raised concern over the flooding in Nigeria this year.<\/p>\n

At a news conference at UN headquarters in New York, spokesperson Stephane Dujarric said the world body was following events.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are gravely concerned that the flooding will worsen the already alarming food insecurity and malnutrition situation in Nigeria.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dujarric noted that at least 440,000 hectares of farmland have been partially or totally damaged.<\/p>\n

The UN added that \u201cmore than 19 million people across Nigeria are facing severe food insecurity.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

The spokesperson said since July, the Nigeria government have provided food, non-food items and clean drinking water to thousands of families.<\/p>\n

The UN said it was aiding the government with assessments and response in Borno, Adamawa, and Yobe and other states, along with humanitarian partners.<\/p>\n

The support include emergency shelter kits, local water drains, sandbags, and walling around shelters to mitigate the impacts of the flooding.<\/p>\n

The Nigerian government had announced that over 600 people have died, and 1.3 million people displaced.<\/p>\n

The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) hinted that cereal production would likely decline by 3.4 per cent due to flooding, high agriculture production costs, and insecurity.<\/p>\n
