At least 39
people have been killed with 40 missing in floods in central Nigeria after
heavy rainfall caused a dam to overflow near the city of Jos. Over 200 homes,
most made of mud, were submerged or completely destroyed. Most
of the livestock in the area had been injured or killed putting families in
more dangers financially.
Emergency
responders in Nigeria say that over 3000
people are now homeless. People are being sheltered in government buildings in
the city. Thousands of people lost all their priorities and food. People in the
mountainous city of Jos aren’t used to these events occurring. Nigeria has been
hit with floods in the past but not in areas of such high elevation.
Maybe in the
future people will try and keep the damns at a higher standard of safety precaution
so that events like these don’t happen again.
