Nigeria — Joint Post - Flood Situation Report — Anambra State (10 December 2024)

Between 28 October and 8 November 2024, the Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM), in collaboration with the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), the Anambra State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA), and the Nigerian Red Cross Society (NRCS) identified 37 locations in Anambra State that were impacted by floods or received internally displaced persons (IDPs) due to the flooding. Through a network of 51 key informants and field focal points, and in close coordination with other humanitarian partners and local authorities, the assessment was jointly conducted in these locations to provide insights to the government and humanitarian partners on the affected population's primary needs, vulnerabilities, and mobility intentions. 

In the seven (7) local government areas (LGAs) of Anambra State that were assessed, the joint assessment team identified 54,422 individuals in 10,272 households affected by the floods. These individuals included 33,339 non-displaced individuals impacted by the floods but remained in their communities. The affected population included 21,083 displaced individuals. Twenty-three per cent (23%) of the affected houses were habitable but needed repair, twelve per cent of the houses were partially damaged and three per cent were completely destroyed. In all of the locations assessed, crop/vegetable farming was among the primary sources of income.
