400,000 people have been forced to flee their home by flooding. Your donation can provide urgent relief now.

Devastating floods across Nigeria have displaced hundreds of thousands, shut down transport lines and destroyed thousands of hectares of farmlands just before the harvest season. Many of those affected had already been forced to flee their homes by conflict and the impacts of climate change.

Please donate now to provide emergency relief to people who have lost everything.

UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, is on the ground in Borno State and across Nigeria delivering critical aid like tarpaulin sheets to help displaced families build makeshift shelters and shield themselves from the ongoing rain.

But much more help is desperately needed. 

Please donate today.
