Intense rainfall during the night of 5 May caused several rivers in the North-East department to overflow their banks, resulting in significant flooding in the communes of Ouanaminthe and Ferrier. More than 3,200 houses were flooded in Ouanaminthe and around 700 in Ferrier, affecting more than 3,000 families, according to the General Directorate of Civil Protection.
The floods caused significant material damage, including the destruction of property, food crops and livestock, and the partial deterioration of national road number 6. To date, no fatalities have been reported. Those affected are facing urgent humanitarian needs. ([OCHA, 10 May 2025](https://reliefweb.int/node/4151820/))

Flash Flood
|
Four people, including three children, have been swept away and nearly 30,000 impacted by flash floods caused by moderate to heavy rains in several areas of Somalia over the last week. [...] The rains, marking a delayed start to the gu (April to June) wet season, have come after prolonged dry conditions across the country, and have been particularly heavy in Puntland and South West States. Initial reports by the authorities in Puntland estimate that 4,500 families (27,000 people) have been affected in Bari and Nugaal regions. Four low-lying settlements were inundated, affecting over 300 displaced families (900 people) and destroying shelters, water sources, and latrines. In areas of Qardho district, approximately 1,500 houses and 11 schools have been damaged, disrupting education for 3,700 children. [...] In Lower Shabelle region, South West State, flash floods due to heavy rains have impacted a considerable number of people in Afgooye, Wanlaweyn, Qoryooley, Marka districts, and surrounding areas. The flooding has restricted road access and damaged sanitation infrastructure. In Wanlaweyn, over 270 displaced families (1,620 people) have reportedly been affected. Stagnant water in displacement sites has increased the risk of diseases. In Baidoa and surrounding villages, flash floods on 15 and 16 April affected displaced people and host communities, and rendered roads impassable. Water levels along the flood-prone Shabelle river have risen. ([OCHA, 22 Apr 2025](https://reliefweb.int/node/4147977))

Heavy rainfall has been affecting Kinshasa, the capital of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, since 4 April, causing flooding and landslides that have resulted in casualties and damage. According to the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), as of 7 April, 33 people have died and 46 were injured due to the overflow of the Ndjili River, affecting 13 out of 24 municipalities in Kinshasa city area. Media reports further indicate that several roads and houses have been destroyed or damaged, power outages have been recorded, and the water supply has been cut off. ([ECHO, 8 Apr 2025](https://reliefweb.int/node/4144934))
Following floods, the Ndjili river overflow, and landslides that occurred across 13 municipalities (out of 24) of the Kinshasa capital city (western Democratic Republic of the Congo) over the period from 4 to 11 April, the number of casualties has increased, and widespread damage was reported. The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) reports, as of 13 April, 165 fatalities, 28 injured persons, more than 7,000 displaced people (a number of these across four relief sites) and a total of over 60,000 affected people across the Kinshasa capital city area. In addition, the IFRC also reports several destroyed and damaged houses. The UNOSAT was activated on 11 April and the International Charter was activated on 10 April to provide the damage assessment. Over the next 96 hours, more rainfall is still forecast over the already affected Kinshasa area. ([ECHO, 14 Apr 2025](https://reliefweb.int/node/4146232))
Severe flooding triggered by torrential rains in recent weeks has displaced almost 10,000 people in Tanganyika Province, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). This unfolding emergency reflects the double crisis facing the DRC, where extreme weather shocks such as flooding compound the suffering caused by ongoing conflict and mass displacement. The Rugumba River burst its banks, inundating large areas of Kalemie and Nyunzu territories. Homes, schools and agricultural land have been destroyed, leaving thousands without shelter or livelihoods. Stagnant and contaminated floodwaters are raising concerns over the risk of disease outbreaks, with reported cholera cases in the province already six times higher than during the same period last year. The flooding has hit a community already under severe strain. Since January, Tanganyika has received around 50,000 internally displaced people (IDPs) fleeing violence in South Kivu. Many had been sheltering in local homes, churches, and schoolsβnow damaged or destroyed. The floods also wiped out key crops like cassava, maize, and peanuts, worsening an already serious food insecurity situation in the country. ([UNHCR, 15 Apr 2025](https://reliefweb.int/node/4146561))

On Thursday, March 7, 2025, most of the governorates of Iraq witnessed unprecedented heavy rains that lasted for three consecutive days, straining the capacity of the water channels and drainage networks which led to a rise in the water level and widespread flooding. Major cities such as Al Anbar, Erbil, Al Qadisiyyah, Diyala, and Thi Qar were affected, flooding streets, causing road disruptions, and the suspension of basic services, most notably sewage, power plants, potable water, and communications. Due to the severity of its impact, most governorates were forced to suspend the official working hours of schools and universities in order to ensure the safety of citizens. In Baghdad, the heavy rainfall, which measured over 72 millimetres in just one hour, far surpassed the city's infrastructure limits, which can handle only between 24 and 38 millimetres per hour. Residential areas and roads were inundated, leading to traffic chaos and property damage. The Kurdistan Region also experienced widespread flooding, with reports of homes and businesses being affected. Authorities have been working to manage the emergency, but the scale of the flooding has overwhelmed local resources. Heavy flooding was also reported in Babil and Karbala governorates, where main roads are submerged, particularly in the cities. ([IFRC, 25 Mar 2025](https://reliefweb.int/node/4141902))

Of these, 135 have declared a state of disaster, while the remaining municipalities have declared a state of emergency. ([ECHO, 16 Apr 2025](https://reliefweb.int/node/4146941/))
The UN and humanitarian partners are supporting Boliviaβs flood response as 238 of the countryβs 340 municipalities remain under orange alert, with historical rainfall expected to continue through May. River overflow risks remain high in the departments of Santa Cruz, Cochabamba, La Paz, Beni, and Pando. Stagnant water is raising health risks, especially for children and older people. WFP, FAO, UNDP, and UN Women continue targeted support, while the Bolivian Red Cross continues to respond in multiple departments. ([OCHA, 09 May 2025](https://reliefweb.int/node/4151754/))

On 6 March, the National Meteorological Service, through its Early Warning System, established the Orange Alert Level for storms for the southern region of the Province of Buenos Aires. Given that this represented a dangerous phenomenon for society, life, property and the environment, both the municipal authorities and different community institutions took preventive measures such as the suspension of classes, cancellation of outdoor activities and reinforcements in risk communication.
In the early hours of the morning of 7 March, the BahΓa Blanca District, located on the southern coast of the province, experienced intense and prolonged rains, reaching a total of more than 300 mm in a sustained period of six hours. During the morning, the official agency raised the Alert Level to Red, in view of the short-term forecasts that foresaw the continuity of rainfall, with an expected accumulation of an additional 100 mm. The course of the NapostΓ‘ stream, which crosses the city, did not have enough capacity to guarantee adequate rainfall runoff, which caused an overflow that generated significant impacts in 70% of the area.
In terms of its impact, the flood caused partial and total damage to the infrastructure of homes and businesses, light poles, walls, trees and signs, causing extensive material losses and interruptions in essential services such as medical care, transportation, electricity, gas, fuel, telecommunications and water supply.
The flood affected the vast majority of the community, both in urban and peri-urban areas, with the most affected areas being those in the east and southeast of the district. Many households experienced water inflow that has reached heights of two meters in some regions, including in the urban centre. Although approximately 50% of the affected areas have been drained, the recovery process is expected to take several weeks in some cases. Thus, particularly vulnerable areas such as the towns of General Cerri and Ingeniero White continue to face flooding challenges due to their geographical location, pre-existing drainage problems and high levels of vulnerability. ([IFRC, 19 Mar 2025](https://reliefweb.int/node/4140605/))
In northern Argentina, the overflowing Pilcomayo and Bermejo rivers has caused significant floods and flash floods, resulting in significant damage and power outages in Salta province, particularly the Chaco region of Salta. The situation is worsened by intense winds exceeding 100 km/h.
As of 31 March, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies reports that 2,000 people have been affected. Local authorities activated emergency protocols and conducted immediate evacuations in high-risk areas. ([ECHO, 01 Apr 2025](https://reliefweb.int/node/4143344/))

Since 16 February, Botswana has been experiencing widespread floods caused by heavy rainfall which resulted in the displacement of over five thousand people, including children, disrupting access to clean water, healthcare, education, and shelter. The crisis is hitting the most vulnerable the hardest, increasing the risk of disease outbreaks [...] UNICEF has allocated US$50,000 through a partnership with the Botswana Red Cross Society to distribute essential supplies, hygiene kits, safe drinking water in affected areas, oral rehydration salts, with links to health facilities and child protection measures in evacuation centres. UNICEF has appealed for US$860,000 to support government efforts to deliver life-saving aid and long-term recovery efforts. ([UNICEF, 7 Mar 2025](https://reliefweb.int/node/4138198))

The Government declared a 60-day state of emergency across 338 districts in 20 regions, including Lima and Callao, to address the severe threat of heavy rainfall. An executive decree for the emergency will allow authorities to expedite urgent action to reduce risks and meet immediate needs. Local and regional governments are coordinating efforts with the National Institute of Civil Defense (INDECI). Key affected regions include Amazonas, Γncash, and Arequipa. ([OCHA, 20 Jan 2025](https://reliefweb.int/node/4126455))
As of February 17th, official data from the National Institute of Civil Defense (INDECI) reports more than 57 thousand people affected by heavy rainfall and its consequences, including 7 deaths. According to UNICEFβs estimates, around 17 thousand are children. More than 27,000 houses, 79 classrooms, and 14 health centres have been damaged or destroyed. Additionally, over 1 million meters of urban and local roads and more than 200 bridges have been affected or destroyed. ([UNICEF, 26 Feb 2025](https://reliefweb.int/node/4136057))

At the end of November 2024, Malaysia experienced heavy rainfall attributed to the Northeast Monsoon, resulting in escalating flooding across nine states: Kelantan, Terengganu, Kedah, Pahang, Negeri Sembilan, Johor, Perak, Melaka and Perlis. The heavy rain caused significant damage to livelihood, houses and livestock, severely impacting the affected communities.
As of 2 December 2024, the National Disaster Management Agency (NADMA) reported that approximately 137,410 people have been affected by the ongoing floods across multiple areas in Malaysia. The Deputy Prime Minister, informed the media that this year's flooding is the worst since 2014, with Kelantan and Terengganu being particularly badly affected. Since 27 November, a total of 633 temporary shelter centers have been opened to accommodate 40,922 families displaced by the floods. The disaster has claimed five lives in Kelantan and Terengganu, as confirmed by the Department of Social Welfare (JKM).
The Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security reported that Malaysia has suffered approximately about CHF 1.79 million in losses due to the destruction of rice/paddy plantation caused by the flood. The significant damage has forced the country to increase reliance on imported rice to meet domestic needs. Overall, the Malaysian agriculture sector faces a total estimated loss of CHF 3.77 million due to the disaster. [...]
The Malaysian Meteorological Department (MET Malaysia) has forecasted continued adverse weather conditions, including thunderstorms, heavy rain, and strong winds, across Peninsular Malaysia between 6 to 9 December 2024. These conditions are expected to exacerbate the ongoing flooding, increasing the number of affected individuals and intensifying challenges for emergency response and recovery efforts. Persistent heavy rainfall has already caused river water levels to surpass designated danger thresholds, posing a severe risk of river overflows that could inundate surrounding areas.
This relentless rainfall has caused extensive damage, not only to homes but also to critical infrastructure. Roads, airports, and railways, particularly in the East Coast states, have been severely affected, cutting off intercity connections and complicating relief efforts. The combined impact of floods and landslides underscores the urgent need for enhanced mitigation measures and coordinated response strategies. ([IFRC, 08 Dec 2024](https://reliefweb.int/node/4116679/))
Peninsular Malaysia, including Johor, Kelantan, Pahang, Perak, and Terengganu States continues to experience heavy rainfall and consequent floods that resulted in displacements and damage. According to the ASEAN Disaster Information Network (ADINet), in the past few days, 6,517 people have been displaced in 44 evacuation centres across the aforementioned states. ([ECHO, 12 Dec 2024](https://reliefweb.int/node/4117766/))
As of 4 January 2025, Malaysia is still grappling with severe flooding caused by the ongoing Northeast Monsoon, which began in November 2024 and is expected to persist until March 2025. The eastern coastal states of Kelantan, Terengganu, Pahang, and Johor have been the hardest hit, with heavy rainfall leading to widespread flooding, displacement, and significant disruptions to daily life. METMalaysia forecasts an additional five to seven episodes of heavy rainfall during this monsoon season, signalling that the situation may continue for several months. The floods have caused substantial damage to homes, infrastructure, and livelihoods, with roads, airports, and railways particularly affected in the East Coast states. This has disrupted intercity connectivity and hampered relief efforts. Landslides have compounded the crisis, underscoring the need for stronger disaster mitigation and response strategies. Additionally, the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security reported approximately CHF 1.79 million in losses due to the destruction of rice and paddy plantations, exacerbating the economic impact on affected communities. The floods have affected nine states across Malaysia, including Kelantan, Terengganu, Kedah, Pahang, Negeri Sembilan, Johor, Perak, Melaka, and Perlis. Satellite imagery from UNOSAT shows that Terengganu, Kelantan, and Kedah were the most severely impacted, with floodwaters initially covering approximately 11,000 kmΒ² in Terengganu and Kelantan, affecting 120,000 people. In Kedah, the floods impacted 1.3 million people across 268 kmΒ², with significant damage to cropland, which persists even as waters begin to recede. ([IFRC, 9 Jan 2025](https://reliefweb.int/node/4123845/))
Heavy rainfall has been affecting Peninsular Malaysia since 10 January, causing floods that have resulted in population displacement and damage.

Severe monsoon floods continue to devastate Sabah and Sarawak, displacing thousands and causing widespread disruption. Since 28 January 2025, continuous heavy rainfall, compounded by high tides and the Northeast Monsoon, has led to rising water levels, road inundations, and landslides. In Sarawak, the situation worsened due to the collision of extreme monsoon rains with high tides, triggering large-scale evacuations and the activation of multiple relief centers. As of 31 January 2025, 12,486 evacuees from 3,648 families have been relocated to 62 temporary relief centers (PPS) in Sarawak. Bintulu remains the most severely impacted district, sheltering 5,885 evacuees from 1,649 families, followed by Serian (2,307 evacuees, 709 families) and Samarahan (2,005 evacuees, 670 families). Other significantly affected districts include Sibu (1,163 evacuees, 293 families), Miri (650 evacuees, 172 families), and Kuching (475 evacuees, 153 families), with a single evacuee recorded in Mukah. In Miri, continuous heavy rainfall triggered a major landslide, resulting in the tragic loss of five lives. ([IFRC, 1 Feb 2025](https://reliefweb.int/node/4129130))

The situation in the Dominican Republic remains critical as heavy rains continue to saturate soils after several days of persistent rainfall. According to meteorological forecasts, the country is under the influence of two cold fronts and two troughs that will affect the weather during the next days, which will generate a significant rainy period in a large part of the country. Furthermore, the recent opening of dam floodgates has increased river and stream flows, raising the risk of overflows and potential flooding in both urban and rural areas. With additional rainfall expected in the coming days, soil saturation is likely to intensify. The heavy rainfall will increase the risk of flash floods, as well as flooding of rivers and ravines, especially in the north, northeast, Central Cordillera, south, southeast and southwest regions of the country. Authorities are closely monitoring conditions and adjusting alerts to respond to this high-risk scenario. ([IFRC, 19 Nov 2024](https://reliefweb.int/node/4111805))

The Colombian government has declared a national state of emergency for the second time this year due to heavy rains and floods, primarily impacting ChocΓ³ and La Guajira. In ChocΓ³, flooding from the Atrato, San Juan and BaudΓ³ rivers has affected more than 188,000 people, with strikes in five municipalities by a non-state armed group limiting mobility for at least 20,000 people. In La Guajira, flooding has affected at least 195,000 people, including migrants and refugees. Priority needs include food, shelter, clean water, cooking supplies, hygiene items, and healthcare. The Colombian government is leading the emergency response with support from the Humanitarian Country Team. Other climate-related emergencies are ongoing across the country, including water shortages in BogotΓ‘ and floods and landslides in Antioquia, Magdalena, Valle del Cauca, Meta, and Caldas. ([OCHA, 15 Nov 2024](https://reliefweb.int/node/4110842))
UNOCHA reports, as of 25 November, around 28,500 displaced people and a total of approximately 383,300 affected people across 36 municipalities of the aforementioned affected departments. In addition, 105 schools have been damaged in the ChocΓ³ and the La Guajira departments. Over the next 48 hours, more heavy rainfall is forecast over most of the country. ([ECHO, 26 Nov 2024](https://reliefweb.int/node/4113419))
The impact of the rainy season in ChocΓ³, a department in the Pacific region, continues to rise, affecting nearly 215,000 people. The most affected municipalities include Alto BaudΓ³, BojayΓ‘, Litoral del San Juan, Medio BaudΓ³, NΓ³vita and Riosucio. The severe weather has destroyed 17,000 hectares of crops and caused the loss of 23,000 animals, severely compromising food security. Flooding has damaged more than 2,100 houses and destroyed more than 300, leaving nearly 3,600 families without access to public services. Overcrowding in relativesβ homes and inadequate waste management have increased the risk of tropical and infectious diseases, as well as incidents of violence, including sexual assault. Educational disruptions have impacted more than 47,000 students across 74 educational centres. Humanitarian efforts are ongoing in 27 municipalities, but the situation remains critical. ([OCHA, 29 Nov 2024](https://reliefweb.int/node/4114567))
Heavy rains continued in December, worsening the humanitarian crisis in municipalities such as Alto BaudΓ³, Medio BaudΓ³, BojayΓ‘, and QuibdΓ³. ([OCHA, 3 Feb 2025](https://reliefweb.int/node/4131100))
Since 11 February, heavy rainfall has affected more than 19,500 people in three municipalities of the Pacific region of NariΓ±o. The impact has been particularly severe on agricultural, Indigenous, and Afro-descendant communities in Barbacoas, Roberto PayΓ‘n, and Tumaco. Tumaco has declared a public calamity, with damage to at least 15 educational institutions forcing school closures, affecting some 2,660 students. Across the affected areas, the rains have caused widespread destruction of homes, loss of crops and livelihoods, and restricted access to food, safe water, health, and education. ([OCHA, 21 Feb 2025](https://reliefweb.int/node/4134891/))
Heavy rainfall has been affecting western Colombia, in particular the QuindΓo department over the last 48 hours, causing flash floods and triggering landslides that have resulted in casualties and damage.
Media report, as of 14 March, one still-missing person, two injured persons, and one destroyed building across the Armenia municipality, central QuindΓo department. ([ECHO, 14 Mar 2025](https://reliefweb.int/node/4139657/))
Heavy rains resulting in floods have been affecting ItagΓΌΓ municipality, Antioquia department, northwestern Colombia, resulting in fatalities and damage. As at 5 May, media report at least one fatality, one injured person and more than 35 houses damaged. ([ECHO, 06 May 2025](https://reliefweb.int/node/4150755/))
Severe flooding has affected more than 17,000 people across 19 of the Meta departmentβs 29 municipalities, or about 65 per cent of the department. In Puerto Lleras alone, flash floods between 4 and 5 May affected 90 per cent of the municipality, affecting more than 8,300 people and requiring coordinated efforts by the Air Force, rescue teams, and disaster management agencies. However, barriers and limited national response have been reported. Nationwide, nearly 70,000 people have been affected by disasters in the past month alone.

Heavy rainfall has been affecting Costa Rica since 8 November, causing floods, river overflow and landslides that resulted in casualties and damage. According to media reports, as of 10 November, one child died in Cartago province, central Costa Rica, due to a landslide, and more than 800 people have been displaced in 180 shelters due to floods, some rivers overflowed, and several buildings have been affected. ([ECHO, 11 Nov 2024](https://reliefweb.int/node/4109385))
On 7 November 2024, the National Meteorological Institute (IMN) issued a Meteorological Advisory reporting that, following the indirect influence of Hurricane Rafael, the Intertropical Convergence Zone persisted over the Central American Isthmus. This phenomenon, combined with the passage of Tropical Wave #45, exacerbated soil saturation across various regions of the country, reaching critical levels in both Peninsulas, the North Pacific, South Pacific mountains, Northern Zone, Central Pacific, and Central Valley. Due to the elevated saturation levels, these areas faced significant vulnerability to potential incidents, prompting the IMN to recommend heightened preventive measures. [...]
It was determined that 1,098,668 people were directly or indirectly affected, mainly due to issues related to damage to essential infrastructure such as water, electricity, and communications. ([IFRC, 21 Nov 2024](https://reliefweb.int/node/4112695/))

After historic floods, the Senegalese army has been mobilised to evacuate villagers and livestock in areas along the Senegal River in the north and east of the country. Despite no recent rains, many areas remain submerged, creating need for food, clean water, and shelter. Senegalese President Bassirou Diomaye Faye visited flood-affected areas in the east and north of the country, where, according to official government figures, over 55,600 people across 51 villages and 44 other sites have been affected by the rise of the Senegal River. More than 1,000 hectares of crops have been damaged in the regions of Tambacounda, Bakel, Matam, and Saint-Louis. Solidarity caravans are being organized, and Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko convened an emergency meeting on 20 October, following the announcement of the allocation of US$13.3 million for assistance.

The National Disaster Management Agency (NDMA) has reported extensive flooding across Sierra Leone, significantly impacting communities, farmlands, businesses, and infrastructure. By September 23, 2024, the NDMA identified 27 flood events across multiple districts, affecting 3,330 households and 23,596 people. Hardest-hit areas include Bo, Bonthe, Bombali, Falaba, Kambia, Moyamba, Tonkolili, Port Loko, Pujehun, and the Western Area. Heavy rainfall from Guinea triggered these floods, resulting in the collapse of 167 buildings, including 27 essential infrastructures like schools, hospitals, and places of worship. Additionally, 7,324 hectares of farmland have been flooded, and many roads remain impassable, disrupting local economies. Between August and 23 September, more floods were reported, displacing over 50 communities and affecting over 1,500 farmers, jeopardizing both current food supplies and long-term recovery.

Heavy rain since 26 September caused flooding and landslides in many parts of the country, particularly in central and western Nepal. According to the Nepal Police, 104 people were killed, 64 people have gone missing, and 73 people have been injured. In Kathmandu Valley alone, 37 people were killed by landslides and flash floods. At least 1,545 families are displaced. Security forces have been mobilized for ongoing search and rescue operations. The municipality, National Red Cross Society, and civil societies are responding to the affected population. Landslides have blocked many highways, and the roads reaching Kathmandu, the capital city are all blocked. ([ECHO, 29 Sep 2024](https://reliefweb.int/node/4097674))
The death toll and damage caused by heavy rain that has resulted in flooding and landslides in central and western Nepal is increasing. According to media, as of 30 September, at least 193 people died, including 34 in the capital Kathmandu, 31 are still missing, and 96 have been injured. In addition, three highways have been blocked by landslides isolating Kathmandu, and schools have been closed. ([ECHO, 30 Sep 2024](https://reliefweb.int/node/4097835))
According to media reports, as of 1 October, 217 people died, including 35 due to a landslide in Dhading district, in Bagmati province, southern Nepal. National authorities and Save the Children report that 111 people have been injured, 4,000 have been rescued, a total of 540 people have been displaced, and 5,000 have been affected. In addition, more than 54 schools and four bridges have been damaged, and 23 highways have been affected. ([ECHO, 1 Oct 2024](https://reliefweb.int/node/4098189))
The rainfall recorded on 26 and 27 September has been identified as the heaviest ever recorded in Nepal's history. In response, the Nepal Red Cross Society (NRCS) activated its Simplified Early Action Protocol (sEAP) following a decision made during the advisory committee meeting (comprising NRCS and IFRC representatives) on 26 September. The sEAP was triggered to support communities living in the Babai and West Rapati river basins in the western part of the country. ([IFRC, 3 Oct 2024](https://reliefweb.int/node/4098960))
One week after the onset of heavy rainfall in Nepal, more than 81,000 people are estimated to be affected by floods and landslides. It is estimated that more than 230 people, including 55 children (20 girls and 35 boys) have died, with many others injured or reported missing. An estimated 4,667 houses are fully destroyed while 5,310 houses are partially damaged. Landslides and rubble have blocked major roads into the Katmandu Valley, hampering access to goods and critical services, including healthcare. Reports of increase in food prices and other essential items in the valley have begun. Access to critical services is affected, with 62 health facilities, 550 water supply systems, and 9,000 sanitation facilities damaged. UNICEF is concerned about possible disease outbreaks, including cholera and dengue fever. More than 190 schools have been damaged, affecting 23,000 students. ([UNICEF, 4 Oct 2024](https://reliefweb.int/node/4099089/))
As of 03 October, 236 people have been killed, 173 injured, and 19 remain missing, while 17,120 have been rescued. The estimated damage includes NPR 4.35 billion to energy infrastructure, NPR 2.5 billion to roads and bridges, and over NPR 6 billion to agriculture. Hydropower projects, schools, health facilities, and communications have been severely affected across impacted areas. [...] While the floodwater in affected areas is receding, the risk of communicable disease outbreaks is heightened, including waterborne (Acute Gastroenteritis, Cholera, Hepatitis-A/E), rodent-borne (Leptospirosis), vector-borne (Dengue, Malaria), and vaccine-preventable diseases (Tetanus, Measles). Overcrowding in displacement camps also raises concerns about COVID-19 and Influenza outbreaks, while health service disruptions may impact treatment for TB, HIV, and other diseases. ([UN RC Nepal, 7 Oct 2024](https://reliefweb.int/node/4099545/))
The humanitarian impact has increased following widespread floods and landslides that have affected several parts of Nepal since 26 September. The Nepal Disaster Risk Reduction Portal reports, as of 8 October, 246 fatalities, more than 200 due to landslides, 18 are still missing and 186 others have been injured. Moreover, more than 1,000 families have been affected and almost 1,500 houses have been damaged or destroyed. ([ECHO, 8 Oct 2024](https://reliefweb.int/node/4099987/))
As of 16 October, the total number of deaths has reached 250 that includes 76 females, 114 males, and 60 children, with 18 individuals still missing and 178 reported injured. More than 17,000 people have been rescued through various rescue operations that deployed more than 30 thousand security personnel. The Nepal Government has declared 71 municipalities across 20 districts as disaster crisis/emergency zones due to the severe impacts of landslides and floods. ([Govt. of Nepal, 16 Oct 2024](https://reliefweb.int/node/4103889))
As of 5 November 2024, the Nepal Red Cross Society (NRCS) conducted a detailed assessment in 6 of the most affected and targeted districts namely, Kavre Palanchowk, Sindhuli, Lalitpur, Makwanpur, Ramechhhap and Panchthar in October 2024. The teams on the ground have reported more than 5,300 households (approximately 26,500 people) across these districts have been affected. Due to the severe impact of the floods and landslides, the affected families still do not have access to basic services like water, transportation, communication and electricity services have not been restored in some of the remote areas. According to the NRCS District Chapters, most of the displaced families are staying in the rented houses, few of them are still living under tarpaulin or with their relatives.

The 2024 Central European floods in the **Czech Republic** were caused by Storm Boris, which brought record rainfall beginning on 13 September 2024. Over 200 rivers overflowed, with Northern Moravia, particularly JesenΓk, Opava, and Ostrava, among the hardest-hit areas. The rain totals in parts of JesenΓk exceeded 500 mm (20 inches), surpassing previous flood records. Roads, railways, and bridges suffered extensive damage, especially in Ostrava, where train services were suspended. These regions experienced severe flooding, leading to the destruction of homes and infrastructure. Thousands of people were evacuated, and approximately 250,000 were left without electricity. [...] The situation remains critical in parts of the South Bohemian Region, where ongoing threats of further flooding persist. As of 19 September, five fatalities were reported, along with widespread displacement of about 10,000 residents. ([IFRC, 25 Sep 2024](https://reliefweb.int/node/4097173/))
Heavy rains brought by Storm Boris have caused severe flooding in southwestern **Poland**, particularly affecting the voivodeships of Dolnoslaskie, Opolskie, Slaskie, and Malopolskie. Rivers like the Morawka have overflowed, and some dams have collapsed, leading to widespread flooding. On 16 September, the Council of Ministers declared a "state of natural disaster" for a period of 30 days in parts of the Lower Silesian, Opole, and Silesian voivodeships. [...] As of 19 September 2024, seven people have been confirmed dead due to the flooding. The Prime Minister's Office reported that the disaster has directly affected 57,000 people, with 6,544 residents evacuated as waters continue to rise. ([IFRC, 26 Sep 2024](https://reliefweb.int/node/4097267))
The 2024 Central European floods in **Romania** were triggered by Storm Boris, which brought torrential rains to the counties of GalaΘi and Vaslui on 14 September. In less than 24 hours, over 150 mm of rainfall per square meter caused ash floods in several areas. GalaΘi was the hardest hit, with flood waters reaching depths of 1.5 to 2 meters in the localities of Cudalbi, Cuza-VodΔ, Pechea, Slobozia-Conachi, Tudor Vladimirescu, and Costache Negri. In Vaslui, the southern localities of Zorleni, GriviΘa, and Trestiana were most affected. The floods caused widespread destruction, severely damaging infrastructure such as roads, bridges, power systems, and schools. More than 6,000 homes were either damaged or destroyed across both counties. Around 400 people remain displaced and are currently being sheltered in temporary housing provided by authorities. Tragically, seven deaths have been confirmed. ([IFRC, 2 Oct 2024](https://reliefweb.int/node/4098614))
Heavy rainfall has been affecting central **Bosnia and Herzegovina** (in particular the Herzegovina-Neretva canton, Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina) since 3 October in the evening (UTC), causing severe floods and flash floods and triggering landslides that have resulted in casualties and damage. Media report, as of 7 October, 18 fatalities, dozens of people still missing and an uncertain number of injured people across the area of Jablanica town, Konjic town and Donja Jablanica village (Herzegovina-Neretva canton, approximately 70 km south-west of Sarajevo city). The Government of Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina declared the state of emergency on 5 October for the territory of Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

On September 8, 2024, a severe tropical disturbance triggered widespread flooding across several provinces in southern and western Algeria. The most affected areas include BΓ©char, Elbayadh, Beni Abbes, Tamanrasset, Tiaret, Tindouf, and Naama. The flooding, which began around September 5th, intensified by September 8th, displacing approximately 2,220 families, some of them from nomadic communities. In BΓ©char, the number of displaced families surged to 2,060, which were forced to evacuate. Roads and critical infrastructure, including 4 bridges, water, and electricity systems, were severely damaged in BΓ©char. Rescue operations have been carried out to save and evacuate individuals trapped by rising floodwaters. In Elbayadh, 60 families have been affected, and 34 houses were damaged as floods swept through remote areas. In Beni Abbes, rising water levels cut off major roads, and there is a high risk of house damage from the overflow of the rivers at the opening of the Bechar dam. Meanwhile, in Tamanrasset, 100 families from Nomads have been affected, with search and rescue operations ongoing for missing persons following heavy flooding. Tragically, the floods have claimed five lives, including four persons in Bechar and one person in Naama. ([IFRC, 22 Sep 2024](https://reliefweb.int/node/4095847))

Severe flooding in Cameroon's Far North region has affected over 158,620 people, including 38,069 women of reproductive age and 4,133 pregnant women. The hardest-hit areas are Mayo-Tsanaga, Mayo-Danay, and Logone-and-Chari divisions, with significant damage to infrastructure, farmland, and disruption of essential services. UNFPA has deployed midwives and social workers to affected areas and is coordinating with partners to track displacement and assess needs. UNFPA-supported health facilities continue to operate in some areas, providing essential SRH and GBV services. The response efforts are focusing on food security, shelter, non-food items, health (including SRH), and water, hygiene, and sanitation. Ongoing heavy rains and the risk of disease outbreaks, including cholera, pose additional challenges to the humanitarian response. UNFPA is urgently appealing for USD 1,174,045 to scale up SRH and GBV interventions in flood-affected areas, targeting 129,149 people. ([UNFPA, 3 Sep 2024](https://reliefweb.int/node/4091202))
Cameroon's Far North region has been experiencing flooding since the start of the rainy season, which began in the second half of July with an average rainfall frequency of one day out of four. The intensification and recurrence of rains starting from August 10, 2024, has led to a progressive increase in rainfall levels between August 10 and August 19, 2024. Series of floods have been recorded since August 19, reaching critical levels in the Logone et Chari and Mayo Danay divisions between August 11 and 21, 2024. The peak of the floods was recorded on August 28 with the breaking of water retention dikes in Mayo Danay, causing the town of Yagoua and other villages to be flooded. The most affected districts are Blangoua, Mackary, and Zina in the Logone and Chari department, and Maga, Yagoua in the Mayo Danay division. Following these events, OCHA published a bulletin on the flood situation in the Far North region on August 28, 2024. The initial information in this bulletin presents the damage recorded in the 02 affected divisions. In the Logone et Chari division, the affected districts are: - Blangoua with nearly 75,000 people affected; Makary with 43,000; Zina with 9,000 people affected. In the Mayo Danay division: Maga with 18,000 people affected; - Yagoua with nearly 13,000 people. The rains continue with weather forecasts predicting more significant impacts in the divisions already mentioned above, as well as in others that have also been experiencing heavy rainfall for several days. Notably, in the DiamarΓ© division, where Ndoukoula district has reported over 400 people affected to date, while in Mayo Tsanaga, Mokolo district, has recorded nearly 200 affected people. ([IFRC, 13 Sep 2024](https://reliefweb.int/node/4093942))
Heavy rains from July to September 2024 caused flooding in several localities in the Far North. According to the Regional Delegation of Health, 60,777 households, including 123,441 children under 5 and 26,591 pregnant women were severely affected by the floods and at least 17 persons died due to drowning or the collapsing of houses. As of 13 September. OCHA reports that 1,678 heads of livestock were lost and 13,471 hectares of agricultural land were destroyed. ([UNICEF, 18 Sep 2024](https://reliefweb.int/node/4094937))
According to [UNICEF](https://reliefweb.int/node/4096871/) and DG ECHO reports, as of 25 September, at least 30 people died, 155,000 people have been displaced, and some 365,000 people have been affected. In addition, 262 schools, 56,084 houses and more than 82,500 ha of crops have been destroyed ([ECHO, 26 Sep 2024](https://reliefweb.int/node/4097052/))
Severe flooding in Cameroon has devastated communities affecting over 500,000 people with 38 deaths, 8 injured, 56,084 houses destroyed, 5,510 head of cattle lost, 85,253 hectares of land destroyed. Some 263 educational buildings were destroyed by the floods, preventing access to educational services for some 103,906 students and 1,514 teachers. [...] Since early August, torrential rains have significantly impacted four regions in Cameroon, with the Far North and West being the hardest hit. Similarly, the West Region has recently experienced climatic events, particularly torrential rains that caused floodings in several localities, resulting in both material losses and human lives. On 5 November 2024, two landslides triggered by heavy rainfall hit the West Region in central-western Cameroon, resulting in casualties and damage. At least three fatalities were recorded, and the search is still ongoing for several missing people. several roads were affected, and one highway blocked in the La Falaise locality, in Dschang city. ([IFRC, 18 Nov 2024](https://reliefweb.int/node/4128516))
The Far North region was severely affected by floods in 2024, impacting over 448,000 people, including 152,376 children. The floods damaged or destroyed 56,084 houses, 262 schools, and 65 health centers, further compounding the challenges faced by already vulnerable communities. UNHCR recorded 88,850 people affected by the floods on 13 IDP sites in Kousseri2 and 7 sites in Logone Birni.3 68 per cent are children. ([UNICEF, 31 Jan 2025](https://reliefweb.int/node/4129328))

From 23 to 31 July 2024, heavy rainfall driven by a low-pressure system and strong southwest winds caused floods and landslides across northern and central regions. The persistent heavy rainfall severely affected Luang Prabang Province, causing flash floods that damaged infrastructure and displaced residents in Viengkham, Pakxeng, and Phonthong districts. The National Disaster Management Committee (NDMC) under the Ministry of Labour and Social Welfare (MOLSW) reported that 19 villages across these districts were impacted, with approximately 4,441 individuals from 755 families suffering damages. ([IFRC, 26 Aug 2024](https://reliefweb.int/node/4089051))
In Laos, flash floods have impacted 14 provinces. Around 51,440 people are affected by the flooding, which has disrupted daily life and critical infrastructures, including homes, roads, agricultural land, health centers, schools, and electricity services. ([ECHO, 15 Sep 2024](https://reliefweb.int/node/4094023))
The strength and intensity of [Typhoon Yagi](https://reliefweb.int/disaster/tc-2024-000161-phl) has left widespread flooding impacting a total of 32 districts, 486 villages with an estimated 140,000 people (including estimated 60,000 children). 28,000 families in the Northern and Central Lao PDR are in need of support. The worst-hit areas include Luang Namtha, Luang Prabang, and Vientiane Capital, along with significant impacts in Phongsaly, Oudomxay, Bokeo, Xiengkhouang, and Xayaboury, with 443 families evacuated and three confirmed fatalities. The floods have severely disrupted social services, including access to education, psychosocial support, and food in many areas. Key infrastructure has also been damaged including roads and bridges. ([UNICEF, 18 Sep 2024](https://reliefweb.int/node/4095043))
In northern Laos, four provinces have been impacted by heavy rain since 5 September, causing floods and landslides: Phongsaly, Bokeo, Oudomxay and Luang Namtha. Luang Namtha is the most affected, with at least 40,000 people affected across 20 villages. ([ECHO, 24 Sep 2024](https://reliefweb.int/node/4096388/))
Almost 200,000 people, including at least 30,000 families and 48,500 children, have been affected by the flooding. The hardest-hit provinces include Luang Namtha, Oudomxay, Bokeo, Luang Prabang, and Vientiane Capital. 92,000 people are in immediate need of life-saving assistance, including at least 24,000 children and 37,000 women. Over 11,000 children and women are in need of routine vaccination and supplementation support, whilst up to 10,000 women, newborn and children need support accessing quality lifesaving health services. ([UNICEF, 1 Oct 2024](https://reliefweb.int/node/4099107/))
319,000 people, including around 115,000 children, have been affected by the floods across Lao PDR. The recent floods have devastated several provinces,
with Luang Namtha being the hardest hit where 60,000 people were severely affected. Torrential rains caused rivers to overflow, submerging entire
communities and sweeping away homes and livelihoods. In Luang Namtha alone, 20 houses were completely destroyed, and 5,000 homes were partially
damaged. [...] Access to safe water and sanitation has become critically limited, heightening health risks, particularly for women and children who are
vulnerable to waterborne diseases. Healthcare services in the region are stretched, with urgent needs for supplies like oral rehydration salts, hand
sanitizers, and water purification materials. 12 healthcare facilities have been directly affected, further complicating relief efforts. Additionally, 60 schools have also been forced to close, disrupting education and leaving 67,000 children without access to learning, further exacerbating the trauma caused by the disaster.

In the early hours of August 20, 2024, the Kiri Dam in Tudun Tsira, Shelleng LGA, Adamawa State, breached its banks, resulting in severe flooding across the communities of Kwakwambe, Lure, Nbalang, Imburu, and Bare in the Numan Local Government Area. The deluge caused extensive damage, overwhelming local capacities and necessitating immediate humanitarian intervention. Just one day later, the communities of Duhu, Mayowandu, Kirchinga, Maiwandu, Jahili, Kokohu, Lumadu, Zhau, Pallam, Kwambula, Shuware, and Shuwa in Madagali Local Government Area were struck by another catastrophic flood, triggered by the upstream flow of waters from the Cameroonian highlands. This secondary flooding event exacerbated the already dire situation, compounding the devastation and further straining local resources. According to the State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA), the floodwaters rose with alarming speed, catching residents off guard and resulting in the widespread destruction of homes, infrastructure, and livelihoods. The disaster has affected 12,583 individuals, displaced 2,079 households, and caused the destruction of 298 buildings, 203 farmlands, and 509 livestock. The immediate humanitarian needs include shelter, food, non-food items, medical assistance, and access to clean water. ([OCHA, 26 Aug 2024](https://reliefweb.int/node/4088593))
Heavy rainfall has been affecting northern Nigeria since 20 August, causing floods that have resulted in casualties and damage.
According to International Rescue Committee (IRC), as of 2 September, at least 170 people died, 205,338 have been displaced, 515,794 have been affected, and 76,667 houses have been damaged across 28 out of 36 states, including Bauchi, Zamfara, Sokoto, Niger, and Jigawa states as the most impacted. ([ECHO, 3 Sep 2024](https://reliefweb.int/node/4091049))
Heavy rainfall continues to affect north-eastern Nigeria, causing floods and the Alau Dam overflowing, and resulting in casualties and damage.
On 10 September, according to media, the overflow of the Alau Dam, approximately 15 km southwest of Maiduguri city, in Borno state in north-eastern Nigeria, flooded Maiduguri. Over 239,000 people have been affected and at least 50,000 people have been displaced across Fori, Galtimari, Gwange and Bulabulin areas. Several structures have been destroyed, including one hospital and one zoo. ([ECHO, 11 Sep 2024](https://reliefweb.int/node/4093101))
According to media, as of 12 September, the overflow of the Alau Dam on the Ngadda River occurred on 10 September, and flooded Maiduguri city, in Borno state in north-eastern Nigeria. At least 30 people died, more than 414,000 have been displaced, approximately 1 million people have been affected, and thousands of houses and structures have been destroyed. ([ECHO, 13 Sep 2024](https://reliefweb.int/node/4093771))
More than 414,000 people are affected by floods in Borno State, with some 37 deaths and 58 people injured reported. Access to hospitals and markets and other critical infrastructure remains limited. Schools are closed with some serving as temporary relocation sites. Two major bridges in Maiduguri (Lagos Street Bridge and Gwange Bridge) have partially collapsed. Over 300,000 people have been registered in at least 26 relocation sites, as of 14 September, according to the Borno State Governmentβs Emergency Operations Centre. Up to 30 sites have been set up and registration is ongoing. ([OCHA, 15 Sep 2024](https://reliefweb.int/node/4094062))
The flood situation across Nigeria has become a major humanitarian crisis, with 31 states and 180 local government areas (LGAs) severely affected. Over 1,083,141 individuals have been impacted by the relentless rains, leading to widespread displacement, loss of lives, and destruction of homes and livelihoods. The floods have left 641,598 persons displaced, 285 people dead, and 2,504 injured. Houses, farmlands, and critical infrastructure have been devastated, with 98,242 homes affected. ([OCHA, 17 Sep 2024](https://reliefweb.int/node/4094779))
Between July and September 2024, 29 states across the nation experienced exceptionally high rainfall, compounded by the collapse of the Alau Dam in the Maiduguri area of Borno State, which worsened the already dire humanitarian situation, leading to widespread flooding, the collapse of bridges, closure of schools, and restricted access to hospitals and markets. The resulting devastation has caused extensive damage to homes, infrastructure, crops, and shelters, critically disrupting livelihoods and displacing thousands of households. The latest report by UNOCHA confirms that at least one million people have been affected, with 311 lives lost and more than 3,174 injured. A total of 390,000 people have been displaced, forced to flee with only the belongings they could carry, but now finding themselves in deplorable conditions, without sufficient safeguards and exposed to heightened protection risks. Roughly 245,500 people are living in collective shelters or internally displaced persons (IDP) camps, with 2,867 communities impacted across 29 states. Over 6,490,307 square metres (649.0307 hectares) of farmland have been destroyed by the floods, foreshadowing severe humanitarian consequences. ([IFRC, 18 Sep 2024](https://reliefweb.int/node/4094998))
Floodwaters have receded in MMC and Jere LGAs two weeks after the 9 September collapse of the Alau Dam in Bornoβs Konduga LGA. As a result, and in response to ongoing efforts to reduce and consolidate temporary relocation sites, the number of people displaced by flooding has reduced from about 400,000 people housed in 36 sites at the height of the crisis to 150,000 people in 22 sites, as of 24 September. ([OCHA, 25 Sep 2024](https://reliefweb.int/node/4096848/))
Almost four weeks after the collapse of the Alau Dam and subsequent flash floods in Borno State, flood waters have receded in the worst-hit Maiduguri Metropolitan Council (MMC) and Jere local government areas (LGAs) offering some respite to affected people. Many are returning to their homes and to host communities, while those whose homes remain submerged are being relocated to larger, more centralized temporary sites within the State. The reduction and consolidation of temporary relocation sites is ongoing to better manage the situation and to ensure the return of public facilities such as schools to their intended purpose. Several schools in Borno had been repurposed to accommodate flood-affected people. Humanitarian needs, however, remain critical despite the significant reduction in the number of displaced people living in emergency shelters, from a peak of 400,000 people at the height of flooding to about 50,000 registered individuals as of 4 October, according to the Borno State Government (BSG) Emergency Operations Centre (EOC). An additional 700,000 people also sought shelter with relatives during the flood emergency, according to authorities. ([OCHA, 6 Oct 2024](https://reliefweb.int/node/4096848/))
Over 320 people dead, 1.3 million affected by floods in 34 states in Nigeria. National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) leads joint floods assessments across 19 states in Nigeria. Nigeria Hydrological Services Agency (NIHSA) recommends prioritized humanitarian action in Edo, Delta, Anambra, and Bayelsa to mitigate flood impact. Alarming rise in malnutrition cases in Borno, Adamawa and Yobe (BAY) states following floods - more than half a million children under five admitted and/or treated for acute malnutrition between May and September 2024.

During the night of July 29 to 30, 2024, heavy rainfall caused flooding and severe damage in 14 neighborhoods of the urban commune of Siguiri and 4 surrounding sub-prefectures. [...] The flood on July 30, 2024, wreaked havoc across more than 23 localities, with the most severely affected areas being the urban municipality districts of BTN, Bolibana, Sigurikoura, Nankoda, Kokomo, Heremakonon, Chinese City, Tiguibiry, Konoba, Abatoire, Setceur TP, Téléladji, ORS1, and Mandén. Additionally, the sub-prefectures of Kintinian (including Kintian Centre, Boukaria, Balata, and Kofilanin), Djomabanan (including Djomanan Centre and Karakoro), Kinièbakoura (including Kinièbakoura Centre), and Niandankoro (including Niandankoro Centre and Damissakoro) were heavily impacted. These areas are characterized by high population density and are situated on the outskirts of Siguiri city, with the sub-prefectures located along the Niger River. [...] Initial rapid assessments conducted by volunteers revealed significant impacts on the affected communities. Several individuals sustained injuries, and 3,863 families, totaling 19,195 people, were affected. Of these, 2,438 households, comprising 17,066 people, were identified as the most severely impacted. ([IFRC, 16 Aug 2024](https://reliefweb.int/node/4086935))
As of 8 October, flooding has affected 132,496 people, the majority of whom are women (58%), in Conakry, Coyah,
Kankan, Siguiri, Kouroussa, Mandiana Dubreka, Forecariah, TelimΓ©lΓ©, Kindia, Yomou and NβZΓ©rΓ©korΓ©. This includes
423 women who are currently pregnant and 724 women who are breastfeeding. Around 860 households have been
displaced, 4 health facilities flooded and 4 fatalities registered. ([UNFPA,8 Oct 2024](https://reliefweb.int/node/4100058))

Since 22 July, Bla town, in Segou region (central Mali), has been experiencing days with heavy rainfall, causing floods that have resulted in damage. According to UN OCHA, as of 29 July, 8,700 people have been affected in the aforementioned town. Regional authorities are coordinating the response for those affected by the floods. ([ECHO, 31 Jul 2024](https://reliefweb.int/node/4082500))
Hydro-climatic forecasts for the 2024 rainy season indicate a high risk of flooding in several regions of Mali, particularly in the basins of the Niger and Senegal rivers. Mali is already experiencing the effects of these floods. In some areas, dams have been opened due to rising water levels. According to these meteorological data, the likelihood of heavy rainfall will continue over the coming weeks, indicating a significant risk of flooding. Alerts received from ACMAD and technical agencies in Mali demonstrate a strong probability of flooding in various regions, with a peak expected in August, which is typically the rainiest month. The risk is particularly acute in areas prone to severe flooding, such as the Inner Niger Delta and the basins of the Bani and Senegal rivers, including Mopti, Sikasso, and Segou, which are currently on alert following forecasts of heavy rains since the end of July ... In addition to the opened dams in the country to release excess water flow, heavy rainfall has been recorded in Bla (Ségou) since July 22, 2024, leading to flooding in the districts of Flawèrè, Bakaribougou, Nouméa, and Bléla. These floods have damaged homes, latrines, and wells, resulting in material losses and impacts on livelihoods. The flooding has caused considerable damage to local infrastructure: 380 homes have collapsed, 165 latrines have been destroyed, and 128 wells have been damaged. Significant losses of food and livestock reserves have also been reported. Responders have mobilized to address emergency needs according to the response plan established by the authorities. ([IFRC, 4 Aug 2024](https://reliefweb.int/node/4085726))
The Government of Mali has declared a national disaster following floods that have claimed 30 lives and affected 47,374 people since the start of the rainy season. ([OCHA, 2 Sep 2024](https://reliefweb.int/node/4090699))
As of 9 September, the floods have worsened considerably in all 19 of Maliβs regions. The regions of SΓ©gou (39,245), Timbuktu (36,317), Gao (19,238), Bamako (17,127), and Mopti (1,782) have recorded the highest number of people affected. There have been 374 incidences of flooding and 29,644 buildings have collapsed across Mali. ([UNICEF, 16 Sep 2024](https://reliefweb.int/node/4094297))
Since the beginning of September, heavy rains and the Niger riverβs rising water levels have caused significant flooding throughout the country. Almost all of Mali's 20 regions have been affected by flooding to varying extents. The area's most severely impacted included Timbuktu, where estimated 37,173 individuals have been affected, SΓ©gou, with 71,882 individuals impacted, and the Bamako district which has seen 16,234 affected individuals. Across the country, 110 schools were reported to be used as shelters for those displaced by the floods, and 35 health centers incurred damages.

The humanitarian impact of the widespread flooding caused by rainfall and strong winds that has been affecting central and south-western Chad since mid-May is increasing. According to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), as of 7 August, at least 40 people died and more than 112,413 people have been affected by flooding in 13 provinces, including 71,000 in Sila, 18,000 in Logone Oriental, 8,400 in Logone Occidental, 3,900 in Chari Baguirmi, and at least 1,356 in N'Djamena city (south-western Chad). In addition, 6,799 houses have been damaged. On 9-10 August, more rainfall is forecast over central and southern Chad, with locally very heavy rainfall in the western part of the country. ([ECHO, 9 Aug 2024](https://reliefweb.int/node/4085117))
Since late July, torrential rains have caused flooding in the 23 provinces of Chad. There are 964,068 people affected, 145 deaths, and 70,000 houses destroyed. According to Government data the most severely affected provinces are Mayo Kebbi Est, Tandjile, Mandoul, Salamat, NβDjamΓ©na, and Sila. NβDjamΓ©na, the capital, counts 58,804 people affected. ([UNICEF, 30 Aug 2024](https://reliefweb.int/node/4090459))
The situation continues to evolve very rapidly with the number of people affected rising from 960,000 to more than 1,495,000 (over 266,000 households) in the last week alone. Torrential rainfall has caused rivers to overflow, displacing communities and disrupting access to essential services. As of 10 September, the government has recorded 164,000 houses destroyed, five million hectares inundated (including 400,000 hectares of croplands, of which 259,000 are completely destroyed), and 66,700 livestock washed away. This number will continue to increase as assessments continue. ([IFRC, 18 Sept 2024](https://reliefweb.int/node/4094698/))

Humanitarian partners expect floods in the second half of 2024, with a peak from September to December. This is compatible with the 4-month lead time expected between the Eastern Nile Lakes peak. However, humanitarian needs will likely arise before that date as the flooding progressively increases, thus SRCS expects to start response operations in the weeks before September. Following the alerts from IGAD Climate Prediction and Applications Centre of the high probability of wetter-than-usual conditions in South Sudan for the current rainy season, together with the highest ever recorded in the history of Lake Victoria and the incoming water pressure over the Jinja Dam in Uganda, the South Sudan Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation together with the Ministry of Humanitarian Assistance are expecting unprecedented floods over large areas of the country. Similar scenarios are also projected by major UN partners in the country, as well as independent experts, with the seasonal flood extent minimum reached in May, which was similar to the minima of recent seasons and the above-average rainfall in South Sudan will likely feed itself into the flood extent and reduce evaporation losses. ([IFRC, 1 Aug 2024](https://reliefweb.int/node/4083163))
Continuous heavy rains since May, combined with controlled water releases from Lake Victoria, have significantly raised Nile River levels, affecting up to 472,000 people across 26 of South Sudan's 78 counties and Abyei Administrative Area. The floods have devastated homes, destroyed crops, disrupted education and health services, and restricted access to essential facilities. ([OCHA, 30 Aug 2024](https://reliefweb.int/node/4091161))
As of 12 September, flooding has affected over 735,000 people across 38 of South Sudanβs 78 counties and the Abyei Administrative Area. According to the International Organization for Migration (IOM), 65,000 people have been displaced, with over 41,000 in Warrap State alone. The United Nations Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) has allocated $10 million to aid 700,000 flood-affected people in five severely impacted counties. The South Sudan Humanitarian Fund (SSHF) allocated $5 million to complement this effort. ([OCHA, 12 Sep 2024](https://reliefweb.int/node/4093561))
Flooding has affected over 890,000 people across the country. The latest increase is attributed to newly confirmed numbers of affected people in the Abyei Administrative Area, Western Bahr el Ghazal and Lakes states. About 226,000 people are flood-displaced, including 114,480 reported from Unity State alone. Due to damaged and impassable roads, physical access to affected communities remains a challenge. On 3 October, the Council of Ministers endorsed the declaration of a state of emergency in flood-affected states. ([OCHA, 4 Oct 2024](https://reliefweb.int/node/4099213))

Initial reports indicate that an estimated 10,180 people, most of whom are newly arrived IDPs from Sennar State, have been affected by recent heavy rains and flooding in Kassala State. [...] Heavy rains and flooding have also affected an unspecified number of people and homes in Aroma, Shamal Al Delta, Reifi Kassala, and Gharb Kassala localities. [...] Floodwater reportedly submerged tents and water and sanitation (WASH) facilities, as well as roads. The majority of the affected IDPs have been forced to live in the open on the roadsides and they do not have access to food, clean drinking water, or safe sanitation facilities amid heightened concerns of a possible spike in water-borne diseases. ([OCHA, 28 Jul 2024](https://reliefweb.int/node/4081549))
More than 17,000 people have been affected by heavy rains and flooding in parts of western and eastern Sudan since the onset of the rainy season. This includes an estimated 10,700 flood-affected people in Kassala State, most of whom fled recent hostilities in Sennar State; about 5,600 people in North Darfur; an estimated 500 people in East Darfur and another 210 people in Kulbus, West Darfur. Five people died, including two minors while swimming in the Gash River, while five people were injured in Kassala State. The actual number of affected people is yet to be determined, as authorities and humanitarian partners continue to assess the impact of heavy rains and flooding among host communities, refugees, and IDPs who settled in Kassala after the war broke out in April 2023. ([OCHA, 2 Aug 2024](https://reliefweb.int/node/4083398))
Heavy rainfall continues to affect Sudan, resulting in increased flooding, casualties and damage. Since the start of the rainy season in June, IOM reports that over 136 000 individuals have been displaced by the floods, while more rainfall is expected in the coming days. According to IOM, on 27 August, heavy floods affected Northern and Kassala states, displacing a total of 746 households (372 in Merowe town, 124 in Al Burgaig locality, and 250 in Al Mahmoudab village). On 25 August, the Arbaβat Dam, located around 40 kms northwest of Port Sudan, partially collapsed due to floods, killing 30 people according to OCHA. This collapse has humanitarian consequences, as 20 villages and hamlets were destroyed and water infrastructures and sanitation facilities damaged, in particular the water pipeline supplying Port Sudan. ([ECHO, 30 Aug 2024](https://reliefweb.int/node/4090328))
Between 01 June and 13 September 2024, DTM Sudan reported 119 incidents of heavy rain and floods that triggered sudden displacement in Sudan. Rain and floods displaced an estimated 178,460 individuals (35,692 households) from locations across 15 different states in Sudan. ([IOM, 15 Sep 2024](https://reliefweb.int/node/4094018))

Since April, there have been floods in several parts of the country, the worst of which occurred in Boulsa in the province of Namentenga, in the Centre-Nord region.
On the night of 29 May 2024, the town of Boulsa was hit by torrential rain between 8pm and 10pm. The rain, accompanied by strong winds, caused extensive material damage and loss of life (07 deaths, including 3 children under the age of 10 and 2 adults, a 35-year-old woman and a 50-year-old man, and 42 injured people treated in the various health centres. Two children under the age of 15 were evacuated to Ouagadougou for more appropriate care.
According to initial reports, as of 07 June, more than 1,000 households had been affected. This has been confirmed by the current registration, which shows a provisional total of more than 1,147 households, or 7,648 people affected, and 925 houses either completely or partially destroyed.
Burkina Faso is a country vulnerable to extreme rainfall and flooding, with major humanitarian consequences. Every year during the rainy season, thousands of people are affected. The country has in-country response capacity, but support remained needed. Official data from Department of Humanitarian Affairs (DHA) received on 13 June 2024 indicates the affected households that required assistance and local Government expressed their request for support to the NS.

As of 11 June, 26 communes across Niger have been affected by heavy rainfall and floods. The worst affected communes include 15 in Maradi in the south-central part of the country, five in Tahoua in the west, three in TillabΓ©ri in the southwestern, two in Zinder in the south-centre, and one in Agadez in the north. According to UN OCHA, 18 people died, almost 4,000 people were affected, 329 houses were damaged and eight schools were destroyed. ([ECHO, 19 Jun 2024](https://reliefweb.int/node/4071456))
*Niger is experiencing its worst flooding since 2020* As of 29 July, heavy rains affected more than 63,000 people across the country, resulting in 71 deaths, according to the authorities. Damages include 5,421 houses and 32 classrooms destroyed and 11,584 dead livestock. In 2023 more than 26,200 people were affected during the same period, with 19 deaths. The 2024 floods are the worst compared to the last four years. Humanitarian response efforts remain insufficient to address the growing needs. Shelter, non-food items, and food, particularly sugar, salt, and oil, are in critical shortage. While the government has provided cereals, significant gaps persist. To mitigate the impact of future flood, the government is collaborating with partners to establish early warning systems, identify high-risk areas, and enhance community disaster preparedness. ([OCHA, 5 Aug 2024](https://reliefweb.int/node/4084233))
Since the heavy rains started at the end of July 2024 that continued through September, the toll of flooding in Niger has continued to worsen. The country's precarious socio-economic conditions exacerbate the vulnerability of its population too, particularly those living in refugee camps, peripheral neighbourhoods, flood-prone areas and densely populated urban zones... A meeting on flood management chaired by Niger's Prime Minister also found that as of 13 September 2024, 125,772 households - representing 924,799 individuals - have been affected. A total of 95,028 homes have been destroyed, 309 people have lost their lives and approximately 21,145 tonnes of food have been lost in the affected regions, further worsening the plight of the population. Additionally, 13,289 hectares of crops have been wiped out and 17,979 head of livestock have perished. ([IFRC, 19 Sep 2024](https://reliefweb.int/node/4095359))

Since April 21, 2024, communities in the La Mojana subregion have faced heavy rains that have affected their daily lives. The leaks in the JarillΓ³n Cara de Gato work, completed in February, increased the water levels in the pipes and swamps. On May 6, the JarillΓ³n ruptured again, followed by the JarillΓ³n Los Arrastres rupture on May 8. These breaks, together with the rainy season, have affected 38,854 people (12,995 families) in the communities of San Jacinto del Cauca (BolΓvar), Guaranda, Sucre, Majagual, San Benito Abad, San Marcos, Caimito (Sucre) and Ayapel (Cordova). ([OCHA, 16 Jul 2024](https://reliefweb.int/node/4078473))
By 5 June, the Institute of Hydrology, Meteorology, and Environmental Studies reported that flooding resulting from heavy rainfall and river overflowing had led 26 municipalities in the Orinoco hydrological zone to be on red alert for hydrological emergencies. This alert indicated an imminent threat, necessitating the mobilisation of people and equipment, interrupting communitiesβ daily activities. In June, the Orinoco hydrological zone had the highest number of Colombian municipalities on red alert, more than twice the number reported by the second most affected hydrological zone, the Caribbean (IDEAM 05/06/2024).

According to Liberiaβs National Disaster Management Agency (NDMA), recent unprecedented floods in Liberia have killed two people and displaced nearly 50,000. The torrential rains on 28 June displaced 8,000 people, and severely damaged homes, schools, and hospitals in Montserrado, Margibi, and Grand Bassa counties, according to a NDMA official. The NDMA has called for international support, with a USD 10 million requirement for emergency relief. With the rainy season far from over, an estimated 100,000 people remain at risk of flooding, storms, and coastal erosion, with heightened health risks anticipated. ([OCHA, 16 Jul 2024](https://reliefweb.int/node/4078479/))
A joint assessment conducted by the NDMA, local community structures, and the Liberian Red Cross Community-Based Action Teams (CBATs) reported that 47 communities in Monrovia have experienced flooding over the last three days. Cape Mount and Bong counties reported 28 affected communities and villages. [...] The Liberia Meteorological Department has predicted continuous rains between May and September 2024 across six counties: Montserrado, Bomi, Cape Mount, Margibi, Grand Bassa, and Maryland (coastal). The affected populations have lost valuable household items and are exposed to risks of disease outbreaks, loss of habitat (sheltering opportunities), livelihood mechanisms, and water source pollution. About 68% of the affected people are women, children, and other vulnerable groups, including the physically challenged and single mothers, who are seeking shelter in temporary facilities (public and private buildings) and with neighbours and relatives in adjacent unflooded communities.

π Flood Events Knowledge Graph Dataset
This dataset provides structured representations of flood disaster events, integrating event metadata, humanitarian reports, natural features from geospatial data, and knowledge graph triples extracted with Large Language Models (LLMs).
It supports research in Earth Observation (EO), disaster management, semantic reasoning, and interpretable AI.
π Dataset Summary
Floods are among the most frequent and devastating disasters worldwide, yet data describing them is often scattered across unstructured reports, geospatial sources, and satellite imagery.
This dataset unifies those heterogeneous data sources into a structured, ontology-aligned Knowledge Graph (KG) format.
Each event is represented with:
- Metadata: disaster type, location, date, country.
- Textual Descriptions: humanitarian situation reports from ReliefWeb.
- Geospatial Features: natural features extracted from OpenStreetMap (OSM).
- Knowledge Graph Triples: subjectβpredicateβobject statements extracted by LLMs.
π Source Data
- ReliefWeb β primary source for event metadata and humanitarian impact reports.
- OpenStreetMap β environmental features around affected regions (e.g., rivers, forests, peaks).
- LLM-driven Triple Extraction β ontology-guided prompts applied to metadata and reports to generate KG triples.
Further details about data collection and preprocessing scripts are available in our GitHub repository:
π XtremeKG on GitHub
We also provide a demo where users can run queries over the triples.
