Three births at Lagos flood relief camp
Three new babies have been born at the
Lagos State Relief Camp, Agbowa, since the facility was established
three weeks ago, according to a government official.
The General Manager, Lagos State
Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) Femi Osanyintolu, said the babies’
safe delivery was a testimony to God’s kindness and the efficient
service delivery at the camp.
The camp has a population of 1,006,
consisting of 484 adults -including 48 pregnant women — and 522
children. The three mothers described their safe deliveries as
miraculous, considering the trauma they went through during the recent
floods in their respective areas. “We thank God and all those who
assisted us. But there is no place like home. Government should help us
further by finding a permanent solution to our accommodation problem,”
said one of the mothers who simply gave her name as Evelyn.
