Hundreds of residents in Afienya in the Greater Accra Region have reportedly been stranded in their homes after heavy rains on Sunday night triggered widespread flooding across the area.
The immediate past Assembly Member for the Afienya Electoral Area, Habib Awudu Mohammed, confirmed the extent of the flooding, saying, “It is true the whole area is flooded. Afienya itself, the town, the TOR Estate, Jerusalem, the Sanford Clinic, Ablekuma and other surrounding areas. The situation here is not easy; people are trapped in their rooms, they cannot move, they cannot do anything.”
He further disclosed that personnel from the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) and the Ghana National Fire Service had been deployed to the community to assist with rescue efforts for affected residents.
