In the aftermath of a devastating week-long flood in Maiduguri, a new flood crisis is now threatening the town of Damasak, and Monguno located in the far northern part of Borno State.
 Reports indicate that the flooding has already caused extensive damage, with large areas of farmland being completely submerged.
According to local sources, on Friday evening the situation is dire, with over 95% of the farms owned by residents already washed away by the rising waters.
This has left many families in a state of despair, as agriculture is their primary source of livelihood.
The flood has not only destroyed crops but also disrupted the daily lives of the people. For the past two weeks, residents have been spending sleepless nights, working tirelessly in an effort to prevent the floodwaters from reaching the town itself.
Despite their efforts, the situation continues to worsen, with the threat of further damage looming large.
The floods are a significant blow to the community, which heavily relies on farming for both sustenance and economic survival.
 As local authorities and residents struggle to control the situation, there is growing concern about food security and the long-term impact this disaster will have on the region.
The government and humanitarian organizations are being called upon to provide immediate assistance to the affected communities, as the flood continues to ravage the area.
The need for urgent relief, including food, shelter, and medical aid, is becoming increasingly critical as the crisis unfolds.
