An area half the size of Florida was devastated in the Niger Delta, yet Shell has made no serious effort to take responsibility, and offered no relief for the millions of people who call the Niger Delta home. Instead, the situation is getting worse - no longer able to scoop water from oil-covered streams, villagers now have to walk several hours to get water. Fishing, which plays an essential part of the local economy, has also been seriously affected with no fish being seen in the streams in the past five years.
Over 400 million gallons of oil have been spilled, devastating an area half the size of Florida.
Tell Shell to take responsibility for the disaster and establish a $1 billion emergency fund to help clean up its mess.
