Nigeria: Two Dead, 18 Communities Submerged As Flood Ravages Nasarawa

Severe flooding has struck the Nasarawa region in Nigeria, resulting in two reported deaths and the submersion of 18 communities. The disaster has severely impacted multiple settlements within the Eke Development Area.

The widespread inundation was directly caused by a combination of heavy, torrential rainfall and the consequent overflow of the River Benue, which breached its banks and flooded the surrounding localities.
