A catastrophic flood is sweeping through Borno State, rendering numerous residents homeless and causing widespread destruction.

Videos shared on social media show residents swimming through the flood, which has engulfed significant infrastructure, including the Monarch’s palace, the state’s university teaching hospital, and several schools. The flood levels are reportedly the highest seen in the state since 1994.
