Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

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

HeadlineSep 13, 2024

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.”
