On the night of Sunday, 28 June 2026, Accra was reminded once again of a truth it knows too well. When the rains come with force, the city does not merely get wet. It breaks. Roads disappeared underwater. Homes and shops were flooded. Families were trapped. Emergency services struggled to reach affected communities. In parts of Accra and Tema, buildings and roads were submerged, access to neighbourhoods was cut off, and most regrettably, lives were lost. For many residents, the floodwaters did not only carry rubbish, mud and debris. They carried away savings, livelihoods, security and dignity. It was another painful reminder that flooding remains one of Ghana's most persistent urban challenges. Sadly, none of this was unfamiliar.
