The Hohoe Municipal Chief Executive in the Volta Region, Prosper Kumi, has made an appeal for more relief supplies for residents affected by flooding in the area. According to the MCE, the needs of the affected residents remain urgent despite donations received so far. The appeal was made as the MCE received relief items from A1 Restaurant on behalf of affected residents through the municipal assembly.
The flooding in Hohoe has displaced over 700 residents, with many sheltering in classrooms after the flooding damaged or destroyed homes and washed away belongings. The Member of Parliament for Hohoe, Thomas Worlanyo Tsekpor, had earlier highlighted the plight of the affected residents, appealing for help to alleviate their suffering. The situation has been exacerbated by rainfall in neighbouring Togo, which has caused floodwaters to rise in Hohoe.
The MCE expressed gratitude to A1 Restaurant for its support and urged other organisations and individuals to assist in providing relief to the affected residents. The municipal assembly has been working to provide aid to those affected, but the MCE believes that more needs to be done to address the urgent needs of the residents. The flooding has had a devastating impact on the community, with many residents losing their homes and belongings.
The Hohoe flood has been attributed to rainfall in Togo, which has caused water to flow into the area. The situation has been worsened by the fact that many homes and buildings in the area have been damaged or destroyed, leaving residents without shelter or access to basic amenities. The government and other stakeholders have been urged to provide support to the affected residents to help them recover from the disaster.
The MP for Hohoe, Thomas Worlanyo Tsekpor, has expressed concern about the situation, highlighting the need for urgent action to be taken to address the plight of the affected residents. The MP has been working closely with the MCE and other stakeholders to provide support to the affected residents, but more needs to be done to alleviate their suffering. The flooding has had a significant impact on the community, with many residents in need of assistance.

This includes the implementation of measures to prevent flooding, such as the construction of drainage systems and the reclamation of waterways. The government has also been urged to provide support to residents who have been affected by the flooding, including providing them with shelter, food, and other essential supplies.
