Nigeria dam collapse: A million people forced from their homes

At least 30 people have died in northeast Nigeria after being caught in flooding caused by the collapse of a dam.
Bodies are being recovered by search and rescue teams in northeastern Borno State.
The governor says more than one million people have been forced from their homes.
And it’s feared the number of dead would rise as many are trapped.
Many people are in need of medical assistance, but the largest hospital is quickly running short of supplies.

Al Jazeera’s Ahmed Idris has more from Maiduguri in northeast Nigeria.
