"I have lost everything. I have nothing in my house right now. The house is empty, and we need to start all over again. As a matter of fact, the water broke the main gate, and if that water was able to pull the main gate down, it tells you the strength of the water."

"The only thing that we were able to save was the human beings in the house. The water was at the neck level, and there were children in the house," he added.

Miracles Aboagye's account comes in the wake of the recent torrential rains that triggered widespread flooding across several parts of Accra and other communities.

The floods submerged homes, businesses, roads and public infrastructure, displaced residents, disrupted transportation, destroyed properties and prompted emergency rescue operations by the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO), the Ghana Armed Forces, the Ghana National Fire Service and the Ghana Police Service.

Several deaths were recorded due to the flood in the capital city.
