 Hundreds of thousands left homeless by West Africa floods - charity


Severe flooding in West Africa has displaced nearly 950,000 people and disrupted children's education at the start of the school year, international charity Save the Children said Friday, AFP reported.


"Hundreds of thousands of children now displaced from their homes are facing disease, hunger from crop destruction, and disruption to their education, as schools have become crowded with fleeing families or damaged in the floods," the NGO said.


Save the Children said around 950,000 people had been displaced -- 649,184 in Niger, 225,000 in Nigeria and 73,778 in Mali.


Niger's government says more than 700,000 people have been left homeless and 273 people died since the rainy season started in June.


Rising waters


Neighbouring Nigeria has meanwhile seen 29 of its 36 states - mostly in the north - hit by rising waters of the River Niger and its major Benue tributary with the country listing 200 deaths, Save the Children said.


"According to Nigerian government data, over 115,265 hectares of farmland have also been damaged, in a country with already high rates of food insecurity," the NGO said.


The agency said one in every six children across Nigeria "faced hunger in June-August this year - a 25 percent increase on the same period last year."


In Mali, whose government declared a state national disaster, more than half of those displaced are children, the NGO revealed.


Climate change


Save the Children said climate change was seeing cases of extreme weather and its consequences grow ever more serious and frequent, with Africa suffering disproportionally.


"These countries are already ravaged by conflict and insecurity, making it even harder to respond, said Vishna Shah-Little, regional advocacy, media and communications director for the agency in Western and Central Africa.

  SSANU, NASU threaten strike over withheld salaries The Joint Action Committee of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions have threatened to disrupt industrial peace in universities should the government fail to release the withheld salaries of members. The salaries were seized by the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari during their strike in 2022. The unions, in a joint letter signed on Friday by the President of SSANU, Muhammed Ibrahim and General Secretary of NASU, Peters Adeyemi, questioned the rationale with which the government released four months withheld salaries to members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities but failed to release the withheld salaries of non-academic staff. The unions noted that they would no longer be able to assure the government of industrial peace in universities should the amounts owed by the government are not released. Earlier, the uni...
