NEMA, Red Cross Deliver Relief Items to Flood Victims in Sokoto!

Reported by Marian Opeyemi Fasesan | Sele Media Africa

The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) in collaboration with the Nigeria Red Cross Society has delivered non-food relief items to families displaced by recent floods at the Ramin Kura IDP Camp in Sokoto South LGA.

What We Know:

• Items distributed include mattresses, mosquito nets, blankets, mats, buckets, and hygiene kits.
• The intervention targets dozens of households rendered homeless by the overflow of River Rima and intense seasonal rainfall.
• NEMA officials emphasized that the support aims to restore dignity and reduce health risks in the temporary camp.

Quote:

“This joint effort reflects our commitment to rapid humanitarian response and protection of displaced communities.”
— Aliyu Koli, Head of NEMA Sokoto Operations Office

Why It Matters:

• Sokoto is one of several northern states hit hard by 2025’s heavy flooding, displacing thousands.
• Collaborative aid efforts ensure quicker reach and efficient management of limited relief supplies.
• Helps reduce exposure to waterborne diseases and camp-based vulnerability.

What to Watch:

• Longer-term resettlement or rehabilitation plans for IDPs.
• State-level disaster risk reduction and drainage infrastructure upgrades.
• Federal budget response to climate-induced displacement across Nigeria.
