Recent flashfloods have affected over 3,000 residents of Region Eight, where 266 farms and 56 houses were destroyed, the acting head of the Civil Defence Commission (CDC) announced yesterday.
“As we speak the water is receding; it is just the water in the Ireng River that remains high as a result of rainfall on Sunday and Monday,” Deputy Director of the CDC Major Kester Craig told a news conference yesterday, before making it clear that the river has not crested its banks as has been the case last week.
