Disaster Overview : In late July 2016, Niger faced its worst flooding in over 50 years in the Gorouol River Basin at Alcongui. The floods led to significant displacement and damage, prompting local authorities and international organizations such as the UN and MSF to provide urgent food and non-food aid. Despite these efforts, the flooding worsened malnutrition risks and communicable diseases, severely affecting food supplies and agricultural productivity.
