The visit comes as the country grapples with the devastating consequences of the natural disaster.
During a cabinet meeting earlier this week, President Faye expressed deep solidarity with the victims and emphasized the urgent need for significant aid. He called for the updating of prevention plans and the intensification of emergency response efforts to address the crisis.
The government has allocated 8 billion CFA francs to support flood victims, and the Prime Minister has announced a coordination meeting to streamline relief efforts. The Minister of the Interior has also visited affected areas to assess the situation and ensure that essential assistance is being provided.
The Organization for the Development of the Senegal River (OMVS) has issued an “orange alert” due to heavy rainfall forecasts, indicating a high risk of flooding. The authorities are closely monitoring the situation and organizing rapid and effective assistance to the affected population.
