Videos being shared online show the flood situation in Accra is getting worse with the onset of the rains as cars, lotto kiosks, and rooms are submerged under water.
In many parts of the capital, the rains have been falling since the dawn of Tuesday, May 24, 2022, and have left in its wake destruction of property and infrastructure.
At Adabraka, a flood-prone area in Accra, a video shared on Facebook shows at least five cars almost covered in the floods as their upper parts are visible. In the same video, a lotto kiosk has been turned over and moving up and down gently on the surface of the floodwaters.
