Residents living along the coast in Keta and its neighboring communities are once again facing devastation caused by tidal waves.
Residents awoke on Friday morning to find sea water flooding their homes, further damaging already deteriorating structures after years of enduring the effects of tidal waves.
Some residents who spoke to Citi News expressed their distress, describing the situation as unbearable and calling for a lasting solution to end the crisis.
“The continuous occurrence of tidal waves has been a source of great concern for us. Last year, we suffered from this phenomenon, and this year, we are experiencing the same problems. We urge the authorities to take urgent action to prevent this from affecting more people,” one resident lamented.
“We are also appealing for dredging along the coast. This situation has been detrimental to our businesses, and even trees in the area have been submerged in the sea,” another resident added.
The recurring tidal waves have left many residents in dire straits, highlighting the urgent need for immediate intervention to protect lives and property along the vulnerable coastline.
