Rainstorm destroys 25 houses at Osiem

A Ssevere rainstorm last Thursday hit Osiem in the West Akyem municipality ripping off the roofs of about 25 buildings.

A two -year-old boy who sustained injuries from falling debris during the rainstorm, was treated and discharged from the Hawa Memorial Savior Hospital in the town.

A number of inhabitants who have been forced to stay with relatives and friends, have engaged artisans, especially carpenters to re-roof their buildings.

Some other victims, however, said they did not have the resources to re-roof their buildings.

The Eastern Regional Co-ordinator of the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO), Mr Ransford Owusu Boakye, who was at the scene to assess the situation said efforts were being made to deliver relief items to the victims and to assist them to re-roof their buildings.
