An official of the National Disaster Management Organization has
revealed that the death toll in the southern Ghana’s city of Cape
Coast’s flood has increased from five to 10.
Sandy Amartey, the Regional Coordinator of NADMO, said the flood
followed four days of torrential rains which wreaked havoc in the
coastal city, about 144 km west of the capital.
He said some of the victims were swept away by the strong running
water, while others were electrocuted, while the rest were hit
accidentally by broken walls.
He said that the bodies have been deposited at the Cape Coast Teaching Hospital.
“Officials of NADMO are still continuing with their assistance of the affected persons,” he added.
