Homes remain submerged in Anambra State. @UNICEF_Nigeria has facilitated immunization services for displaced people, and focuses on the restoration of basic services in support of the Government, such as sanitation facilities in schools and access to healthcare services.
The staggering devastation caused by the current floods in Nigeria & the profound impact on people’s lives are a stark reminder of the humanitarian, development, and socio-economic cost of the climate crisis on people who do the least to contribute to climate change @matzschmale

AAP is not something we ‘do’: being accountable means partnering with affected people & sharing resources to respond to crisis together #inclusion#AAP#localisation#StrongerTogether
@iascch Humanitarian Chiefs meet to eliminate risk of sexual exploitation & abuse within the aid field. Crucial that #humanitarianactors come together to stop abuse. IASC policy is a great start but more needs to be done.
