A torrential downpour in Damongo, Savannah Region, has left destruction in its wake, damaging over 30 houses and stores and displacing several residents.
The storm, which ripped off roofs and destroyed property worth thousands of Ghana cedis, also affected key facilities, including the offices of the Volta River Authority (VRA) in the municipality. Many displaced residents have sought refuge with relatives while they work to rebuild their homes.
Describing the situation as devastating, the Assemblyman for the Canteen Electoral Area, Abraham Ananpansah, called for urgent intervention.
“We have done some assessment, and we can confirm that over 30 houses have been affected. I want to appeal to the government, NADMO, and other agencies to come to the aid of those affected,” he stated.
The West Gonja Municipal National Disaster Management Organization (NADMO) Coordinator, Adam Bavug, confirmed the incident, noting that officials are assessing the damage. A report and recommendations will be sent to the NADMO head office for further action.
