Death

Death Toll From Ghana Flood has risen to at least 12 after severe flooding hit Accra, Ghana’s capital. Emergency services confirmed the updated figure on Tuesday. The floods followed heavy rain that began on Monday. The rain submerged roads and homes across the coastal city. It also forced large-scale rescue operations across several neighbourhoods.

Death Toll From Ghana Flood continued to rise after initial reports from the Interior Minister on Monday, which placed the number of dead at nine. Authorities now warn the figure may increase further. Officials say several people are still missing, and search efforts remain ongoing. The National Fire Service confirmed the latest toll through spokesman Alex King Nartey.

Death Toll From Ghana Flood includes victims from different families. Reports confirmed that among the dead are a married couple and a mother with her child. Emergency crews worked through the night to reach stranded residents. Fire teams also pumped water out of flooded homes and cleared blocked areas to allow access for rescue operations.

Death Toll From Ghana Flood comes as more than 400 people have already been rescued. Greater Accra Regional Fire Commander Rashid Kwame Nisawu said teams managed to save many lives during the emergency response. Rescue teams continue to operate in affected areas as conditions slowly improve, although water levels remain high in some parts of the city.

Death Toll From Ghana Flood has also sparked political criticism. The main opposition party, the New Patriotic Party, criticised the government’s handling of the disaster. It said the flooding exposed weak coordination and poor preparedness. Meanwhile, emergency services continue recovery efforts as authorities assess damage and support displaced residents across Accra.
