Tidal waves displace about 70 persons in Volta Region

Azizadzi (V/R), Aug. 3, GNA- High tidal waves have displaced about 70 people at Azizadzi, Sorku and Horvi in the Volta Region. Miss Dzifa Ametewee, a victim told the Ghana News Agency (GNA) on Saturday that she and other affected families were putting up with relatives at Agavedzi and other nearby towns. She said about 15 houses were submerged.

The Great Lakes Dredge and Dock Company, which are handling the Keta Sea Defence Project, have constructed trenches under the streets to make way for the floods to empty into the Keta Lagoon. The victims, who the GNA interviewed, said on completion of the Keta Sea Defence Project, tidal waves could be higher and more destructive especially around eastern part of Keta.
