Ghana floods cause 12 deaths
At least 12 people have lost their lives after heavy rains and floods swept through large areas of Ghana, including the capital, Accra, causing fatalities and extensive damage. Officials explained that the rainfall reached approximately 140 millimeters over a short period, marking the highest level in years, which led to repeated flooding due to weak drainage systems, unregulated construction, and urban planning challenges. The government announced the allocation of around $27 million for relief efforts, along with deploying security forces to assist in rescue operations. Hundreds of people were injured, and more than 470 individuals have been rescued from the affected areas.
