More than 400 residents were displaced by severe flooding caused by heavy rains on Sunday, May 18, 2025 in the municipality of Awutu Senya East, in the Central Region of Ghana.
Nine out of the municipality’s 13 electoral areas have been affected, making movement difficult for residents. The hardest-hit communities include Iron City, Dokutsekope, Akweley Cross River, and Kpometey Zongo.
According to Adom News, residents expressed frustration over their losses caused by the floods.
The Municipal Chief Executive (MCE), Seth Sabah Serwonoo-Banini, attributed the flooding to poor drainage systems and blocked waterways, pledging that the assembly will soon address the issues.
Meanwhile, the Awutu Senya East Member of Parliament, Phyllis Naa Koryoo Okunnor, together with officials from the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) and the Assembly, visited the affected communities to assess the damage.
The heavy downpour, which lasted several hours on Sunday, submerged major roads and cut off access to several communities.
Other areas affected by the flooding include Weija, Kaneshie, Adabraka, Adenta-Dodowa, Tema, and surrounding towns.
