One person has been confirmed dead, while many persons
sustained injuries during a fire outbreak at the Muna Albadawy camp for
internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Borno state.
According to the National Emergency Management Agency
(NEMA), the fire, which occurred during the weekend, started in one of the
kitchens in the emergency shelters erected in the camp.
NEMA said the two sources of water serving 9,678 IDPs in
about 1,613 households were also affected.
The incident, it was gathered, has further compounded the
plight of the IDPs.
However, according to NEMA, its North-East zonal office has
deployed a water tanker to the camp to supply water on a temporary basis.
The agency also says it has conducted rapid assessment to
provide immediate relief of food, non-food items and other forms of support in
collaboration with the Borno state emergency management agency and other
partners.
