Vice President

Masahudu Ankiilu Kunateh, Ghanadot
Vice President John Mahama is touring communities in the
Central Region flooded from persistent rainfall.
Some parts of the region have been cut off and several
people rendered homeless.
The floodwaters have also washed away farms, damaged roads
and caused rivers to burst their banks.
One person is reported to have died and several others
wounded following the collapse of the bridge linking Apam
and Mankessim.
Mr. Mahama’s visit Thursday follows a similar one by
President Mills to flood hit areas in Accra.
He toured areas worst hit by the floods and assured the
people of government’s support.
Meanwhile relief items are being dropped by helicopter to
flood victims in the Western Region.
Nzema Akropong is one area completely cut off and residents
there have moved to hilly parts of the village and deep into
the forest.
