Biden Pledges Support for Recovery from Hurricane Helene
President Joe Biden has shared an update on efforts to restore power and clear debris in communities affected by Hurricane Helene.
According to Biden, “We’re making progress restoring power and removing debris in communities impacted by Hurricane Helene – but there’s still more work to do.”
Currently, 8,500 federal personnel and 1,500 troops are working tirelessly on the ground to support recovery efforts.
Over $507 million in assistance has been provided to survivors, and the president assured that more resources will be sent as needed to speed up recovery.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is leading the response, coordinating with state and local governments to ensure survivors receive shelter, food, and medical aid.
Alongside FEMA, the National Guard troops are assisting in clearing roads and rebuilding vital infrastructure, especially in the hardest-hit areas.
Hurricane Helene caused widespread devastation across the affected regions, leaving thousands without power and displacing many families.
The administration’s focus remains on restoring normalcy to these communities and providing continuous aid.
The federal government is also working with local utilities to expedite the restoration of power, which is essential for bringing life back to normal.
Nigerian pastor and overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church, Pastor Tunde Bakare, addresses and reacts to the current happenings of the country regarding the kidnapping and the abductions.
The pastor urges the government on steps they can take to solve and help the people of the country. “The Nigerian government has a clear and urgent duty to protect these Middle Belt communities, who have carried the weight of violence for far too long.”
“Rather than play the ostrich and cover up clear terrorism as mere farmer-herder clashes, the Nigerian state has a responsibility to invade the camps of armed marauders who hide under the cloak of herdsmen of whatever ethnicity, and who invade defenceless communities and gleefully massacre unarmed men, women and children.”
US President Donald Trump criticizes the Nigeria government once again after the increase of insecurity over the past few days. The president stated that the government is failing to protect Christian communities from the attacks going on.
“Nigeria is a disgrace. The whole thing is a disgrace,” Trump said. “They’re killing people by the thousands. It’s a genocide, and I’m really angry about it. And we pay, you know, we give a lot of subsidies to Nigeria. We’re going to end up stopping.”
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar speaks out against the rising insecurity in the country. He urged the government to take action and claimed that it is not too late to declare a state of emergency.
He reacted after another news of abduction of students was announced on the 21st of November.
“How many more lives must be shattered before decisive action is taken? It is not too late for the government to finally declare a state of emergency on insecurity and confront this menace with the urgency it deserves.”
