Member of Parliament representing Yapei-Kusawgu, John Abdulai Jinapor, has made an appeal to both the government and the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) for immediate relief assistance to the victims of the devastating floods in the Buipe township, Central Gonja District.

“It is very critical that immediate relief is brought to mitigate the human suffering that is getting unbearable," Mr Jinapor said.

Last week, the Bui Dam experienced a spillage that resulted in severe flooding in Buipe Town, causing extensive damage. This flood has been one of the most severe in recent memory, submerging roads, homes, farmlands, and causing significant structural damage, including roof damage.

The resulting impact on the area's infrastructure is substantial, with estimated damages and the need for assistance totaling millions of Ghana Cedis.

Mr Jinapor has therefore called on the government, non-governmental organisations, international aid agencies, and philanthropists to urgently support the victims, as those displaced by the catastrophe are in dire need of shelter, food, and clean drinking water.
