One person has been reported dead in the recent flood at Mankango in the East Gonja Municipality of the Savannah Region.
A resident of Makango, Issah Ibrahim, who confirmed the death of one person, said three people drowned, but residents were able to rescue two.
The recent heavy rains have resulted in the overflow of the Black Volta, causing havoc in some parts of the Savannah Region.
The flood has greatly affected some parts of the northern sector, including Makango, Abelekura, Titikura, and other communities in the East Gonja Municipality, with houses and farmlands being submerged in flood waters.
The East Gonja Municipal Chief Executive, Richard Broni, disclosed during a tour of the affected communities in the Makango area and its surroundings that about 3,300 people have been displaced, with about 792 houses affected by the flooding.
