AREF responds to the Devastating Fire and Flooding affecting Maiduguri and Jigawa States
Maiduguri, Nigeria – The African Refugees Foundation (AREF) has mobilized its teams to ameliorate the impact of the recent tanker fire and flooding in Maiduguri and Jigawa States on affected populations.
Our immediate response is focused on providing relief and assistance to thousands of displaced individuals, those who have lost livelihoods, and those displaced from their communities and homes due to the flooding.
We are also providing temporary shelter and facilitating access to food, clean water, and medical care.
For survivors of the fuel tanker that exploded in Majia, Jigawa State, killing at least 155 people, we are working to complement efforts of the medical intervention teams by providing burn kits and other emergency medical items required to stabilize them and ensure seamless treatment to enhance their quick recovery.
AREF is appealing for support from governments, international organizations, and donors to bolster its capacity in providing this life-saving and vital assistance to the affected population.
“Every moment counts for those suffering in the aftermath of these disasters,” said Mr Olujimi Olusola III, CEO of the African Refugees Foundation. “We are committed to providing the necessary support, but we require additional resources to scale our efforts. It is essential that we come together as a nation and as global citizens to help our fellow human beings in their time of need.”
Since it’s establishment in 1993…AREF has been providing humanitarian assistance and promoting the rights of displaced and marginalized communities across Africa. It has also continued to deliver sustainable solutions that empower individuals and foster resilience
