Water levels in the Region Eight villages affected by recent flooding are receding, according to the Civil Defence Commission (CDC), which yesterday also reported that several areas in Region Seven had also been affected and disaster management systems had been activated there.
As emergency supplies continued to be delivered to distressed Region Eight residents, the CDC, via a press statement issued by the Department of Infor-mation yesterday afternoon, said that in addition to the six indigenous villages affected in Region Eight, new reports reveal-ed that several villages in Region Seven were also faced with flooding.
It was further noted that while farmlands and some residences in the Cuyuni-Mazaruni district were flooded, the situation there is less severe when compared to what is happening in Region Eight.
