To reduce the impact of the flood crisis affecting different parts of the country, the World Health Organisation (WHO), has said it is scaling up its support to Nigeria by providing more emergency health assistance.
The non-profit said it has begun providing food support, health care assistance, and hygiene kits to people in communities affected by the crisis.
This was contained in a statement issued by the non-profit organisation on Monday.
The WHO Representative in Nigeria, Walter Mulombo, said the crisis poses a risk of “severe health challenge” which mandates a swift response.
“The flooding in Nigeria poses a severe public health challenge, necessitating a swift, agile and comprehensive response. Close collaboration between government and partners such as WHO is critical to such efforts,” he said.
