More than 3,000 people affected by the recent floods in the Ayawaso Central Constituency of the Greater Accra Region have started receiving relief items from the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) and Qatar Charity as part of a joint humanitarian effort to support affected households.
The intervention comes in the wake of the devastating floods, which caused significant damage to homes and destroyed property in several communities within the constituency.
Speaking during the distribution exercise, NADMO Director-General Joseph Bikanyi Kuyon said the organisation was committed to ensuring that the relief items reached only those genuinely affected by the disaster.
“We are looking at over 3,000 victims. The National Disaster Management Organisation always makes sure that we are donating to the people who really need the assistance. That is those who were actually affected,” he said.
Mr Kuyon acknowledged the large turnout at the distribution centre but stressed that not everyone present qualified to receive the items.
“As you can see, most people are gathered here, but not all of them were victims. So, we go by our list,” he explained.
He said the relief package was made possible through a partnership between the government and Qatar Charity.
“The donation is a combination of what His Excellency President John Dramani Mahama has provided, as well as support from our partners from Qatar.”
