United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) urges inclusion of refugees and Internally Displaced People (IDPs) in flood response across West and Central Africa

Severe flooding in Cameroon, Chad, Mali, Niger, and Nigeria during the rainy season has exacerbated conditions for refugees and internally displaced people. The UN Refugee Agency stresses the importance of including these vulnerable populations in national response plans to address the devastation caused by the floods, which have destroyed homes, infrastructure, and heightened protection risks. The floods have severely impacted communities in the region, emphasizing the urgent need for comprehensive support and assistance.
