With residents of the Lower and Upper Pomeroon, in Region Two, severely affected by flooding over the past 10 days, many families are leaving their homes for higher ground.
The flooding has occurred as a result of continuous rainfall compounded by the silting up of the Pomeroon River and high tides.
Those severely affected are residents of St Monica, Karawab, Kabakaburi, and Wakapau, who have had to seek accommodation elsewhere.
