What happened, where and when?
On August 11, 2023, following heavy torrential rains, the protective dike along Logone River broke on the Chad side, causing heavy flooding in this area bordering Cameroon. Villages along the dike were completely flooded making the area uninhabitable for people. Fields, dwelling houses, livestock were destroyed. The most affected villages are Makaroua, Mirbidim, Mala and Pit-Arrey. Since August 12, these Chadian populations have gradually moved to Cameroon, which is more easily accessible, particularly in village of Moula, Maga district, Mayo Danay Department.
Figures of the identification carried out by the administrative authorities show 346 households or 2,401 people affected. These figures could rise as people continue to arrive. These populations were welcomed and temporarily housed by the sub-prefect in the classrooms of public school of Lawaya and high school of Mourla.
