The European Union (EU) has mobilized €5.4 million in humanitarian assistance to support the recovery efforts in six African nations grappling with severe flooding.

According to the EU, the aid will benefit the most vulnerable populations in; Chad, Niger, Nigeria, Cameroon, Mali, and Burkina Faso, where over 4.4 million people have been affected by the floods, most as the disaster has resulted in widespread destruction, with homes, schools, healthcare centers, roads, and agricultural lands have been left devastated across the region.

In addition to physical destruction, the region now faces an increased risk of waterborne diseases, due to the collapse of water, sanitation, and hygiene services.

A statement by EU noted that the funding will help humanitarian partners provide urgent relief in the hardest-hit areas, focusing on food supplies, clean water, shelter, and essential services. Specific amounts allocated to each country include €1.35 million for Niger, €1.1 million for Nigeria, €1 million each for Chad and Mali, €650,000 for Cameroon, and €300,000 for Burkina Faso.

This funding is in addition to the €232 million in humanitarian aid the EU has already disbursed to these countries earlier in the year. Previous support included; efforts to address flood damage in Liberia, Guinea, Chad, Nigeria, Niger, Cameroon, and Mali, through contributions to the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC).

Commissioner for Crisis Management, Janez Lenarčič, decied the unprecedented scale of the floods, particularly in regions like Niger and Chad, where rainfall levels have shattered records.

He reiterated the EU’s commitment to providing life-saving assistance, saying, “We are mobilizing all means at our disposal to help the most vulnerable in the flood-stricken countries, so they can receive much-needed relief.”

Heritage Times HT notes that this year’s flooding has been particularly destructive, with rainfall in Mali, reaching levels unseen since 1967. Niger has reported over 1 million people impacted, while in Chad, 1.5 million residents have been affected with more rain expected in the coming days.

In Nigeria, the Northern regions already battling conflict-driven Food and nutrition crises, have been hit hardest. The failure of a dam in the Maiduguri area has exacerbated an already dire situation, displacing more than 641,600 people. With more rain forecasted and sanitation infrastructure overwhelmed, cholera outbreaks pose a significant threat across the region, particularly in areas already susceptible to the disease.

The EU’s rapid response aims to alleviate immediate suffering while addressing the critical need for long-term recovery efforts in the flood-ravaged Sahel and Lake Chad regions.
