1. Background of the Incident

A devastating fire outbreak occurred at Ndiba Street in the town of Kumba, located in the South West Region of Cameroon. The fire rapidly spread through residential buildings, destroying homes, household items, food supplies, clothing, and essential documents.

The affected families were left homeless and are currently facing severe humanitarian challenges including lack of shelter, food insecurity, exposure to harsh weather, and psychological trauma.

Kumba, which has already experienced socio-economic strain due to the ongoing Anglophone crisis in the South West Region of Cameroon, is now further burdened by this disaster.

2. Problem Statement

The fire disaster has resulted in:

Destruction of residential buildings

Loss of personal belongings and vital documents

Displacement of families (including women, children, and elderly persons)
