In Anambra State, people especially the riverine communities face the menace of flooding during raining season. Also, in past three decades markets in the state experienced lots of fire outbreaks that had destroyed goods worth billions of naira, shops and loss of lives.
OUR CAUSES
Often, there comes an inter-communal conflict generated by dispute over land. These have generated crisis and emergency situations in which lives were lost, houses destroyed, and many people rendered homeless.
Humanitarian crises can be triggered by a wide range of other situations that may include extreme sudden changes in employment/financial state, medical emergencies, hunger, epidemics, famine, armed conflicts, erosion menace and natural disasters. When such happens, the mostly affected are women, adolescents, pregnant women and children.
