3 babies born 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.

General Manager, Lagos State Emergency Management Agency, Femi Osanyintolu said the babies` safe delivery was a testimony to God's kindness and the efficient service delivery at the camp.

Safe arrival of babies, in whatever circumstance, is a thing of joy, that is why we assisted the families to celebrate the arrival of the babies, Osanyintolu says

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.

Meanwhile, the camp commandant, Wewe Ganiyu, has appealed to the residents to make the best use of the facilities provided.

The relief camp was opened on Oct. 11 by the Lagos State Government for the victims of eight communities affected by the floods.
