With water levels reaching as high as 8 feet at Kwakwani on the Berbice River and many other flooded communities in Region 10, regional authorities are seeking to secure assistance for affected residents, including food and cleaning supplies.
Both Regional Chairman Deron Adams and Councillor for the Kwakwani community Elroy Adolph have said that residents in the communities are currently in need of food hampers and they have alerted the Civil Defence Commission (CDC) about the situation.
Excessive rainfall compounded by high tides have triggered flooding not only in Region 10 but across the country.
