At Least 30 Killed in Northeastern Nigeria as Heavy Rains Spawn Flooding
------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Nigeria, people are searching for their loved ones after major
flooding killed at least 30 people, submerged entire neighborhoods and
displaced tens of thousands of people in the northeast.

Aisha Muhammed: "I have one son, and I have not seen or heard from him
in three days. We got out on Tuesday after the flood overpowered us. It
was really hard for us to get out, but thanks to the soldiers who helped
us to safety. Right now we are still searching for my son, no headway
yet. We pray to God to help us in this situation."
