The National Emergency Management Agency on Wednesday deployed its Search and Operations team to the Usmanu Danfodio University Teaching Hospital, Sokoto State to assess the humanitarian situation of the victims of the explosion that occurred at the Chemical Market in Talata-Mafara in Zamfara State the previous day.

 

Reporters recall that the explosion, on Tuesday, was triggered by the careless disposal of a cigarette remnant on gunpowder, leading to a massive fire. The explosion resulted in significant damage, affecting 50 individuals with varying degrees of injuries.

 

In a post on its Facebook page on Wednesday, NEMA disclosed that “three fatalities had been recorded”, while “46 injured persons were receiving treatment at the Usman Danfodio Teaching Hospital due to the severity of their conditions.”

 

The team confirmed that victims were being treated in different hospital divisions, including the Orthopaedic ward, Surgical unit, ICU burns unit, and ENT division.

 

Meanwhile, a former Governor of Zamfara State, Senator Abdul Aziz Yari, has promised to pay all the medical expenses for the 50 explosion victims.

Southern France wildfires force evacuation of 3,000 residents

Wildfires in southern France have forced the evacuation of nearly 3,000 people as firefighters battle fast-spreading blazes fuelled by extreme heat and dry weather.   According to Punch, citing AFP, the fires broke out in Sainte-Marie-la-Mer before spreading to Canet-en-Roussillon on Thursday, prompting emergency evacuations of tourists and residents. Authorities said around half of those evacuated were staying in three campsites within the affected areas. Regional official Pierre Regnault de La Mothe confirmed that two firefighters sustained minor injuries during efforts to contain the fires. Emergency responders deployed 200 firefighters alongside four water-bombing aircraft to tackle the flames. “We are mobilising a large network of volunteers,” the official said. The fires come after a severe heatwave swept across France in June, lasting 11 days and pushing temperatures above 40°C in several regions. The World Meteorological Organization recently warned that extreme heat is increasing wildfire risks while also impacting public health, agriculture, ecosystems and infrastructure. French Interior Minister Laurent Nunez said 1,200 firefighters had been mobilised since Wednesday to combat forest fires nationwide. He warned that weather conditions remain highly unfavourable, raising concerns about further outbreaks. Meanwhile, Météo-France has forecast another spell of elevated temperatures next week, although conditions are not expected to be as extreme as June’s heatwave. The worsening wildfire situation has also intensified political pressure, with some French politicians criticising the government’s response to rising temperatures and climate-related emergencies.
