<p>The Worst-Hit: Ibn Abbas Quarters</p>
<p>The epicenter of the disaster appears to be Ibn Abbas area, where the flood’s fury left unimaginable devastation. Local resident Malam Jamilu Abdullahi, speaking to Nigerian Tracker, shared his anguish after losing three of his own children to the deluge. “We were helpless. The water came suddenly and fiercely. My neighbors lost at least seven children. The pain is beyond words,” he said, his voice heavy with emotion.</p>

<p>Hundreds of homes were submerged, leaving families without shelter, access to clean water, or food. Community leaders report critical infrastructure damage, with roads washed away and access to healthcare now heavily constrained.</p>
<p>Calls for Urgent Government Intervention</p>
<p>As the displaced seek refuge in schools, mosques, and open spaces, local voices have grown louder. Residents are appealing to Governor Ahmad Umaru Fintiri and the Federal Government for immediate intervention.</p>

<p>“The situation is dire. Our children are dying, our homes are gone. We need shelter, medical aid, and protection,” said a community elder in Modire, expressing fear that without swift action, disease outbreaks could follow.</p>
<p>What Happens Next?</p>
<p>Relief agencies and emergency services are reportedly mobilizing, but logistics remain a challenge due to the scale of the disaster. Climate experts warn that more rainfall is expected in the coming days, prompting worries of further flooding.</p>
<p>The Adamawa flood is yet another reminder of the pressing need for resilient infrastructure, effective disaster planning, and environmental safeguards in flood-prone areas of Nigeria.</p>
