Ghana has witnessed the worst flooding recorded in about a decade after heavy rain on June 29.

Preliminary data from the government indicated that approximately 140 millimetres of rain fell on Accra.
At least 13 people died in the capital city, while the fire service said it rescued over 470 people in distress.
