The Director for the North East Region at the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO), Alhassan John Kweku, has emphasized the pressing need for additional food relief supplies to address the evident threat to food security in the area.

He expressed that the aid received from the NADMO headquarters has proven to be significantly insufficient to adequately support the substantial number of individuals affected by the floods.

On August 9, heavy rainfall in certain parts of the North East Region resulted in severe flooding in numerous communities throughout the vicinity.

The floodwaters completely submerged extensive hectares of farmland, exacerbating the challenges concerning food security.

Furthermore, segments of the Walewale-Gambaga-Nalerigu highway were washed away by the deluge.

Tragically, the floods have claimed the lives of five individuals.
