The Member of Parliament for Yapei-Kusawgu, John Abdulai Jinapor, has appealed to the government and National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) for urgent relief to the victims of the floods.
The floods have displaced hundreds in the Buipe township of the Central Gonja District.
A severe rainstorm hit the town last week, inundating the area with one of the worst floods recorded in recent times, submerging roads, houses, farms and ripping off roofs.
The disaster has exacerbated the areas infrastructural deficit, with damages estimated at running into millions of Ghana Cedis.
“It is very critical that immediate relief is brought to mitigate the human suffering which is getting unbearable,” Mr Jinapor said.
The MP called on government, non-governmental organisations, international aid agencies and philanthropists to, as a matter of urgency, support the victims as those displaced by the catastrophe are in dire need for shelter, food and clean drinking water.
