Flood-hit communities in Region Five (Mahaica-West Berbice) have seen some improvement with water levels dropping but residents say it will be months before their lives return to normal.
Despite levels dropping by between 14 to 24 inches across the region, the height of the floodwaters in homes and farms remains high.
“We still cannot see ground as yet. Water dropping but there is still a lot of water on land. We cannot do nothing than to wait for it to draw off. It will be months before we get back to living normal,” Ram, a resident of Mora Point, Mahaicony River said.
