Region Seven residents in need of flood recovery assistance

Christine George’s home when it was flooded over a month ago

Hundreds of flood-stricken residents in Region Seven have begun the long haul to recovery as floodwaters continue to recede.

The region has been devastated by widespread flooding brought on by torrential downpours, inundating indigenous communities and mining pits, as well as destroying farms.

Last week, Christine George stepped back inside her home in flood-hit Kamarang, an indigenous community located close to the Mazaruni River, to find mud-caked floors and gut-wrenching destruction.
