In a very sad, shocking report about 92 Nigerians have died of
dehydration in the Sahara desert, it has emerged. See the report below:
About 92 Nigeriéns who died of thirst in the Sahara Desert on their way
to Algeria after their long vehicle broke down were buried today by
government officials of Agadez State.
A foreign journalist who
covered the event said that some of the corpses, who were mostly women
and children, were eaten up by animals and birds in the desert. Some of
the bodies are yet to be found.
The reporter also said that the
government of the Republic of Niger has declared three days of national
mourning over the tragedy.
Some of the survivors explained that their
vehicle developed technical faults that could not be rectified, and
that they wandered in the hot weather without water to quench their
thirst, leading to their death.
The survivors are presently being treated for malnutrition and dehydration.
I wonder for how long they wondered helplessly in the desert...really sad. May their sould R.I.P Amen.
