100 Dead in Nigeria Following Severe Flooding EcoWatch September 19, 2018

 

Nigeria declared a national disaster in four states Monday in response to deadly flooding that National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) spokesperson Sani Datti partly attributes to climate change, CNN reported. “Based on the data available, 100 people have so far died in 10 states,” Datti said Monday, as Al Jazeera reported. Weeks of heavy rain have caused floods that have displaced thousands of people in the country’s south and central states, NEMA told CNN.
