The road between Busunu and Daboya has been cut off by floodwaters after a downpour on Saturday, September 11, 2021.
This means no vehicle is able to travel between the 2 towns since the road is the only route from the capital of the North Gonja District to other towns like Tamale, Buipe, and Kumasi.
The situation reports indicate is further compounded by the lack of a bridge on the White Volta, making it impossible to access Daboya and many other communities with a vehicle, as the only other road that links them to the North East Region is also flooded.
Meanwhile, Military Personnel deployed to the district to assist commuters have since been withdrawn.
The Savannah Regional Director of the NADMO, Mohammed Tohir, said some communities in the North Gonja and Bole districts have also been flooded. The devastating impact of floods within this enclave is becoming an annual ritual.
Last year, about 14 communities were flooded in the North Gonja District when the Bagre Dam was spilled. Thousands of people were displaced with hectares of farms submerged.
