Flooding after heavy rains in eastern Ghana has forced nearly 26,000 people to leave their homes at the request of the government.

The country’s National Disaster Management Organization (NADMO) disclosed this on Tuesday.

The floods occurred after two hydroelectric dams overflowed at Akosombo and Kpong, destroying farm crops, and forcing schools to shut down.

NADMO deputy chief Seji Saji told newsmen that “We have moved most of the affected people to a safe haven. About 26,000 mostly women and children have been displaced.

“What they need is water, food, and medicine and we’re working with the government to take care of that.”

No deaths had been reported so far.

Meanwhile, President Nana Akufo-Addo has set up a committee to coordinate ongoing rescue efforts.
