In the aftermath of Monday’s windstorm that ravaged the East Coast Demerara communities of Bare Root and Dazzell Housing Scheme, a team from the opposition APNU+AFC visited the area for a first-hand look at the damage incurred and to offer what assistance it could, while calling for urgent government relief for affected families.
This was stated in a release yesterday following a press conference held by the APNU+AFC.
According to the release, the roofs of several houses in the two communities were either completely or partially lifted off. Walls were damaged and, in one case, a home was completely destroyed. The storm was severe enough to cause material to be dispersed as far as two villages away. Many residents of all ages in both communities were left traumatised.
