Between 02 and 07 August 2022, IOM’s DTM programme carried out assessments to ascertain the level of damage sustained in IDP sites due to heavy windstorms and rainfall. Overall, 13 host community locations in Damaturu, Potiskum, Bursari, Karasawa, Gujba, Yusufari and Geidam LGAs were assessed. The worst-hit of the assessed sites was Anguwar Area, a host community in Asheikri ward of Geidam LGA, where a heavy rainstorm with floods damaged 78 shelters, affecting an estimated 507 individuals.
