Following an SOS alert from Cross River State Emergency Management Agency, a joint team of NEMA, SEMA and Nigerian Red Cross conducted an on-the-spot assessment of the flood disaster that ravaged homes, farmlands and disrupted economic activities within the affected communities.
The flood incident affected Itigidi and Idiba communities. The flood was due to overflow of the river owing to the heavy rainfall and water flow at the upper Benue Basin.The team observed that the flood impact was majorly on farmland as vast farmlands were still inundated by the water.
Some of the affected houses still had water marks on the wall even though the water has receded.
