Over 1400 affected by floods in Samreboi, 2 dead

Over 1400 people are said to have been affected by floods at Samreboi in the Wassa Amenfi West Municipality of the Western Region.

The deceased are said to be a 14-month-old baby and a 17-year-old boy.

Flood waters have entered many homes, forcing people to abandon their homes and are currently being hosted in schools and church buildings.

There are over 28,000 people living Samreboi and the floods are said to have taken over about half of the community.

The National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) has confirmed the extensive destruction following the flooding in parts of Samreboi and Asankragwa, with more than 24 buildings reported to have collapsed.

The flooding was triggered by the overflow of the Samre and Tano rivers after heavy rainfall in the area, causing widespread inundation across several communities and leaving many residents displaced.
