Hundreds of residents in Afienya in the Greater Accra Region have been left stranded after hours of heavy overnight rainfall triggered severe flooding, submerging homes, roads, and other parts of the community.
The flooding trapped many residents in their homes, making it difficult for them to move about or access essential services. Several roads in the area were also rendered impassable, disrupting transportation and daily activities.
Residents have expressed concern over the recurring floods, calling on authorities to implement long-term drainage and flood control measures to reduce the impact of heavy rains on the community.
The flooding in Afienya is part of the widespread disruption caused by the heavy rains that affected several parts of the Greater Accra Region, leading to traffic congestion, submerged roads, and emergency response operations in a number of communities.
Emergency responders and local authorities continue to monitor the situation while urging residents in flood-prone areas to remain vigilant, avoid moving through floodwaters, and follow safety directives as weather conditions persist.
