For those impacted by the severe floods in Nigeria, the United States has pledged to offer $1 million in emergency humanitarian aid.
The U.S. said the $1 million, provided through USAID, will enable local partners on the ground to provide emergency shelter assistance, relief supplies, and hygiene kits to promote safe and healthy practices amid the ongoing cholera outbreak, as well as multipurpose cash assistance for people affected by the devastating floods.
The U.S. Consulate in Nigeria expressed sadness for the extremely high rains and subsequent flooding, which have affected almost 2.8 million people nationwide and caused thousands of homes to be damaged or destroyed, uprooting millions of people.
