The cost of waiting for the rains - MyJoyOnline
The recent flooding across southern Ghana is yet another reminder that flooding is no longer an occasional disaster but a recurring national challenge. Recent warnings from the meteorological authorities, together with flooding across parts of the Volta Region and other southern regions, reinforce the need for long-term action rather than seasonal emergency responses. As floodwaters continue to inundate communities across southern Ghana, our thoughts are with every family that has lost a loved one, every trader whose livelihood has been washed away, every farmer watching months of labour disappear, and every child whose education has been interrupted.
