Severe flooding in the Western Region has uprooted hundreds of residents after days of relentless rain inundated various communities. The National Disaster Management Organisation has confirmed that extensive flooding has submerged residences, agricultural land, roads, and public infrastructure, leaving many families homeless and urgently requiring humanitarian aid.
Local residents contend that illegal mining operations are a significant contributing factor to the devastating flooding. They argue that such activities have compromised the integrity of the land and blocked natural waterways, significantly heightening the communities’ risk during heavy rainfall.
