The Committee members which include technical WatSan experts and senior officials from the Ministries of Interior and Territorial Administration; Social Affairs, Public Health, and other sensitive sectors with civil protection mandates, have been deployed to visit various scenes of the disaster in N?Djamena. Similar

government and its partner humanitarian organisations could build plans to access the victims with adequate quality assistance.
Official statistics (as of 6 September) reflected the following:
? In B?bidja, 15 days of heavy rains with a recorded water level of 346 mm rendered 1,063 families homeless
(average size five persons) homeless. 1,706 houses; 217 sanitation facilities (bathrooms and toilets)
