With dozens of homes in Region Eight submerged and washed away by rain-swollen rivers, the Head of the Civil Defence Commission (CDC) yesterday described the situation as “grim” and several flights ferried emergency supplies to affected residents.
Four villages in the Potaro-Siparuni region have been severely flooded as a result of excessive rainfall in the south and southwestern parts of the area coupled with the Ireng River overtopping its banks in some areas north of Orinduik.
