The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has committed to providing assistance to the affected victims of the devastating Maiduguri flood through United Nations agencies and its implementing partners.
This was disclosed in a statement released by the US government and made available to the media on Monday.
It said that through the World Food Program (WFP), USAID is providing hot meal rations in four camps hosting internally displaced persons and has reached more than 67,000 individuals in the past few days. It also added that the International Organisation for Migration is using an initial $3 million in USAID funding to address flood needs across the country.
While explaining that “other USAID-funded partners, including international and local NGOs, are repurposing existing funds to provide critical assistance to individuals affected by the flooding in Maiduguri and neighbouring Jere Local Government Area (LGA).
