Children die in building collapse after Nigeria flooding

[Sanjeev]

The structure in which two children were trapped collapsed in northwest Nigeria, adding to the dozens of people who have perished in weeks of intense floods, according to the nation's disaster service. The youngsters perished in Katsina, one of the seven northwest states that was particularly severely affected by flooding, according to a report from the National Emergency Management Agency (Nema). Nema reported that after the building collapsed, a third child sustained injuries.

Was there no yellow warning so residents can evacuate. It seems these families were not informed to leave their vicinities before the storm started? I pity the kids.

Why were they not informed to leave their homes, or if they're informed, perhaps they ignored the call. That was a deadly flood caused by a ferocious storm.

They probably felt the building would be able to hold and withstand the flood. This is really a very sad news.

We have to calculate where we stay or live if it is about to wreck to avoid tragic incidents. We can sense our situation as not safe for floods,
