Nigeria is currently facing devastating floods that have impacted multiple states. The floods have washed away entire villages and settlements, especially in rural and peri-urban areas where houses were mostly made of mud, bamboo, and other materials unable to withstand the flooding.  The scale of the destruction is unprecedented, further exacerbating an already challenging economic situation in the country.  Through this emergency appeal, the IFRC and its membership aim to address the urgent needs of 400,000 people through health, shelter, multi-purpose cash interventions, and support with water, sanitation and hygiene.
