Over a thousand (1000) residents of Akplabanya and Anyamam in the West Ada District of the Greater Accra Region have been rendered homeless following torrential tidal waves that hit the Eastern coastal lines last Saturday.
Ferocious sea currents occasioned by high tides broke into homes destroying properties and displacing residents.
Women and children in particular could not find places to sleep over the weekend and were left at mercy of the weather.
Even though a few are using schools and church premises as shelters at the Anyamam Area Council, majority of the affected are reluctant to relocate in an anticipation of the tides receding.
Some affected persons mostly women while salvaging some belongings, have called on the government to find permanent solutions to the annual ritual instead of distributing food items, blankets and other items to them during such situations.
Atinkanews is however monitoring the situation and will bring viewers and readers up to speed on latest developments.
