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.
Catholics across Benue State came together on Thursday in a heartfelt prayer walk, seeking God’s help for peace to return to the troubled region. The walk, which drew large crowds from different parishes, was marked by hymns, placards, and quiet reflection. Priests, religious groups, and lay faithful joined in solidarity as they moved through the streets.
They also prayed for the victims of the recent violence, including those killed in the attack on Yelwata, Guma Local Government Area, where many lives were lost. Those who took part in the procession spoke out about the rising insecurity and called for healing, unity, and a renewed sense of justice in the state.
The recent surprise visit to Benue State by President Bola Tinubu has stirred many reactions from the public.
It was reported that some school children who were outside were urged to welcome the president under the rain.
It was also noted that what started as a simple welcome turned into a political rally for the President and the Governor of the state.
