Nanumba South: Flood victims appeal for support

Several communities in the Nanumba South District of the Northern Region continue to suffer as floods continue to wreak havoc in homes and farms.

Some residents living close to the Oti river are counting their losses following heavy rains on Sunday, October 11, 2020, that got the several communities flooded.

Roads have been cut off making it difficult for people to access the district capital for basic needs.

The communities include Chichagi, Lahato, Egambo, Mualaa, all in the Nanumba South District.

Buildings have collapsed, farms submerged and bridges washed off. The people say they have no place to lay their heads and are calling on authorities to come to their aid.

Villages were submerged in floodwaters following the massive torrential rains that forced the banks of three dams to break, allowing the water from the dams to rush onto the villages.

Acres of farmlands were submerged while some livestock were carried away by the floodwaters, a situation that led to the donation from Dr. Bawumia to enable the affected victims to get some relief items.
