Nigeria floods leave more than 600 people dead
Flooding in Nigeria has become an “overwhelming” disaster that has killed more than 600 people.
Many states were not prepared for the floods despite the warnings, the minister of disaster management has said.
It’s the worst flooding the country has seen in a decade. Some 1.3 million people have been displaced and more than 200,000 homes have been destroyed.
The flooding is expected to continue until the end of November.
The government has said climate change is to blame, whilst experts add poor planning and infrastructure have exacerbated the damage.
