A rainstorm that hit Aworowa in the Techiman North District of the Bono East Region has left hundreds of residents homeless. The storm, which struck last night, destroyed 78 houses and caused significant damage to other properties.
Charles Amponsah, the Assembly Member for Aworowa, reported that more than a thousand people have been displaced and is calling for urgent assistance. “I am appealing to the government and NGOs to come to the aid of my people,” he said.
Samuel Agyei Effah, the NADMO Coordinator for Techiman North District, confirmed that while there have been some delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the community has received some support. He noted that the District Chief Executive and Member of Parliament had provided help, including 45 packets of roofing sheets, 90 bags of cement, and four boxes of nails. Additional supplies are expected to arrive soon to further assist the affected residents.
