Cameroon Red Cross Assists Flood Victims in Limbe with Vehicle and Aid

The Cameroon Red Cross has received a vehicle to enhance its response efforts in Fako Division, Limbe, where recent floods and landslides have caused devastation. The vehicle was handed over on November 3, 2026, by National President Akame Mfoumou Cécile Léonie, accompanied by representatives from the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC). This donation aims to improve the mobility of Red Cross teams, enabling them to monitor response activities, strengthen coordination, and maintain contact with affected families.

The vehicle donation is part of the Cameroon Red Cross's response to the deadly Mbende landslide that occurred on August 5, 2026. The National President visited the affected areas, including Mbende and South East Community, to assess the situation firsthand. During her visit, she provided cash aid, hygiene kits, mosquito nets, and psychosocial support to those affected. The Red Cross also conducted awareness campaigns to educate the public on necessary precautions and support.

The flood and landslide crisis in Limbe's Fako Division has had a significant impact on local communities. The Cameroon Red Cross, through its Fako Departmental Committee, has been actively involved in providing support to affected families since the beginning of the crisis. The committee's volunteers have been working tirelessly to deliver aid and assistance to those in need.

The recent vehicle donation will significantly enhance the Red Cross's ability to respond to the crisis. With improved mobility, teams can now reach affected neighborhoods more easily, providing timely and effective support to those affected. This development is expected to strengthen the overall response efforts and improve coordination among stakeholders.

Akame Mfoumou Cécile Léonie assured the affected families that the Cameroon Red Cross has not forgotten them and will continue to provide support.
