Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has told victims of Thursday’s floods in some communities within West Mamprusi Township that he shares their loss.
He has also indicated that the government through the National Disaster Management Organization (NADMO) will do everything possible to improve his plight while working to return life to normal.
The vice president had to interrupt his four-day campaign tour of the Greater Accra region to assess the extent of the devastation after the floods.
“I share your loss and want to assure you that the government through NADMO is working around the clock to bring life back to normal. Not only are you affected by this flood; we are all so I came here to see you and determine the best help we can provide, “he revealed.
He presented food including various bags of corn, toiletries, rubber buckets, mattresses, mosquito nets, bundles of used clothing, plastic plates and drinking glasses, as well as cash, to the more than 1,000 displaced people.
Residents of four villages – Gaagbini, Dimia, Tinkaya and Banawa – woke up on Thursday to see their communities totally submerged in floods following massive torrential rains that forced the banks of three dams to break.
Thousands of acres of farmland have not been saved, while livestock have been washed away by floods.
Meanwhile, displaced people in affected communities are currently housed in temporary structures that include school blocks and Municipal Assembly offices.
