Floods have created a humanitarian emergency in Kebbi State, north-eastern Nigeria.

Summary edit

Description
English: Floods have created a humanitarian emergency in Kebbi State, north-eastern Nigeria. During the summer of 2020, Kebbi State was hit by severe weather that caused massive floods which resulted in the destruction of roads and bridges and caused a large amount of fatalities. Farmlands were severely affected: floods washed away at least 8 million tons of rice (about 25% of Nigeria's rice crop), according to estimates by a farmers’ organization. This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 7 September 2020, shows areas flooded by the Niger and Sokoto Rivers in Kebbi State. High resolution open data from Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites allow accurate delineation of flood extent and damage assessment.
