The Region Ten Regional Democratic Council (RDC) has dispatched a medical team to Lamp Island, Sub Region Two, Upper Berbice, to assess rising floodwaters, which have residents on edge.
According to a press release form the RDC, residents have expressed fear over continued rising floodwaters due to continuing rainfall.
The statement reported Regional Chairman Renis Morian as saying that there are some 220 residents in Lamp Island and that the region, over the years, has been warning them about the dangers of living there. They have since ignored those warnings and continued to live there.
