The flood killed 27 people and affected thousands of people in the Republic of Niger
Flooding in the Republic of Niger as a result of heavy rains has killed 27 people and injured over 70,000 since July 2023.
An announcement from the authorities of Niger today Saturday shows that the rainy season between June and September causes severe flooding in most West African countries, including the northern regions.
The Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs said that as of August 18, the flood has killed 27 people, injured 30 people, and affected 71,136 people.
The regions of Maradi, Zinder and Tahoua were the most affected by the disaster and 6,530 houses were destroyed, according to the ministry. The capital city of Yamai, which has two million people and is the most affected by the floods, the authorities have taken action.
Last year's monsoon killed 195 people and affected 400,000 people. The Meteorological Agency in the Republic of Niger said that the rains were caused by the climate change that has plagued the country for many years.
