Help Needed After Deaths, Losses in Nigeria's Maiduguri Floods

Borno State suffers, as one of the worst floods in 30 years leads to the loss of farmland, infrastructure, and hundreds of homes. At least 30 people have been killed in the disaster, says the government, but residents say not all deaths were documented.  More than 400,000 people were displaced, with communities using public schools and incomplete buildings for homes.
