Item

Title (Dublin Core): Niger. Displaced by flooding
Description (Dublin Core): View of the new Niamey 2021 neighbourhood, Cité Garantché. For forty days it has been housing the nearly 9700 flood victims of 2020 rains, the Nigerien government has gift them a plot of land. But everything is still to be built.; According to estimates by the Nigerien Ministry of Humanitarian Action and Disaster Management, 281,407 households were affected by flooding due to heavy rains in July and August 2020 in Niger. The Kirkissouye neighborhood located near the Niger River in Niamey is one of the affected areas and in August 2020, approximately 9,700 people had to be evacuated. For eleven months these affected people were housed at the Gamou military site at three kilometers from the city, then they were relocated to a new site called Niamey 2021 Cité Garanché at five kilometers from the city of Niamey, the Nigerien government offered a plot of land to each of the 937 affected households. Settling and starting their lives again on this virgin land without electricity or running water is a great challenge for these new arrivals, but also a source of hope
