Struggles with flooding in urban Ghana
YEN.com.gh reported that the rainy season has been accompanied by some of the most intense flooding in recent years, partly attributed to poor spatial planning.
Most notably, at least 13 people were confirmed dead in Accra following heavy overnight rainfall on June 29 that triggered widespread flooding across Ghana's capital, with the Ghana National Fire Service warning that the death toll is likely to climb as recovery operations continue.
Areas that have seen flooding have been noted to be in areas close to waterways or even on the waterways themselves, like Otodjor in Ablekuma West.
