With severe flooding in regions 1, 7, and 8 ravaging mining camps, the Guyana Women Miners Organisation (GWMO) is appealing to government to provide assistance to affected prospectors.
Hundreds of miners from the small and medium scale categories along with their workers have been displaced as a result of the flooding.
GWMO’s head Urica Primus yesterday said that weeks after miners were first affected by the flooding, they are reeling from the impacts.
The situation has forced many miners and workers to either return home or find new accommodation.
