The North East Region Director of the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO), Alhassan John Kweku, says more relief items in the form of food is urgently needed to deal with the apparent food security threat in the Region.
According to him, the relief items received from the NADMO headquarters are woefully inadequate to cater for the huge numbers of victims hit by the floods.
On Wednesday, August 9, heavy downpour in parts of the North East Region left several communities in the area flooded.
Several hectors of farmlands were totally submerged in the flood waters leading to heightened issues of food security.
Portions of the Walewale-Gambaga-Nalerigu highway was also washed away.
Five persons have also died as a result of the floods.
