Reports on the ground show that there is flooding in the Region Five indigenous community of Moraikobai, GINA said yesterday.

A team comprising officials from the Civil Defence Commission, the Regional Chairman of Region Five and other senior regional officials was in the community to evaluate the situation.

A day earlier, GINA had issued aerial photographs of the community taken by the Guyana Defence Force to dispel reports that there was flooding. Yesterday, GINA issued a news item reporting flooding in some parts of the community.
