The organisation said the dire situation has left families struggling to survive.
He said: "The situation on the ground is critical, with many families struggling to survive. In the wake of this disaster, the Nigerian Red Cross is on the front lines, delivering emergency relief such as food, water, first aid and providing temporary shelter to those who have lost their homes. However, the scale of the disaster far exceeds the resources currently available."
"Our teams are working tirelessly to respond to this emergency, but we cannot do it alone," said Mr Adeaga.
Addressing urgent needs
NRCS said many families are currently living in makeshift shelters or out in the open, exposed to the elements, adding that donations will help provide temporary housing and essential items like blankets and clothing, ensuring vulnerable communities receive vital protection and support.
It further urged everyone to contribute to this critical cause. It urged those donating should donate through their official website or contact their fundraising team directly at info@redcrossnigeria.org.
"Every Naira counts in this moment of crisis. By coming together, we can provide the relief and hope that these communities desperately need," the statement reads in part.
