Humanitarian Crisis

Incessant rains and the collapse of a temporary bridge have plunged the Okyereko area of Ghana’s Central Region into a humanitarian crisis. Over 150 residents have been displaced from their homes, with floodwaters submerging approximately 70 houses.

Nigeria’s northwestern state of Zamfara is reeling from a fresh wave of terrorist attacks launched by armed militants known locally as bandits. These attacks, concentrated in the Zurmi Local Government Area, have resulted in the abduction of hundreds of residents and displaced many more, raising concerns about a burgeoning humanitarian crisis.
