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. On 3 October 2023, the Mayo-Danay department recorded the arrival of a new wave of people displaced by ooding in their localities in Chad. They settled in Cameroon in the neighbouring localities of Mourla Gobo and Mourla Gozom, as the Mourla Lawaya site was already saturated by the ood victims from August. As part of the coordination with OCHA and the humanitarian community, another multisectoral assessment of the needs of these new disaster victims was carried out from 11 to 14 October 2023 with partners such as the NGO Action Contre la Faim (ACF), Solidarités International, the Cameroon Red Cross (CRC), ADES and Tamoundé under the leadership of the Cameroonian RC in the settlement sites. A total of 499 new households were surveyed, including 434 refugees and 65 hosts. On 24 October, a meeting was held with all the humanitarian partners involved in this disaster. Based on the assessment report published on 17 October, roles were reassigned, leading Cameroon Red Cross to this new strategy and target. This meeting is the trigger for this update.
