Floods in the Far North and North Regions.
Situation Overview
Heavy rainfall between August and October in the Far-North and North Regions of Cameroon has caused flooding, resulting in casualties and displacement. While climatic events are recurrent throughout August and early October, this year’s rainfall continues throughout October. As of the 27th of October, all six administrative divisions of the Far North and 3 out of 4 in the North were affected at varying degrees. Thousands of people are on the move, displaced by climate effects; these added to the ones on the move as seasonal migrants.
On October 19th, the Regional Delegation of Public Health for the Far North shared the number of 479,393 people in need in the seven most affected Health Districts.
