Maiduguri Flood Relief Efforts: SEQHER’s Response
On September 10, 2024, the Alau dam in Maiduguri bursted, causing devastating floods in the Borno state capital and surrounding villages. This catastrophic event was the result of years of structural damage to the dam, which had gone unaddressed. The areas most affected include Custom area, Gwange, Post office, Gamboru Market, Monday Market, University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital, Mairi, Fori, Lagos Street, and Bama road, Shehuri etc.
In response to this crisis, the Society for Equal Health and Rights (SEQHER) team distributed essential relief materials, including food items and hygiene essentials, to 20 beneficiaries, on September 13, 2024.
SEQHER remains dedicated to enhancing its humanitarian service and will continue to work towards alleviating the suffering of those affected by this disaster.
