Coastal residents residing in Keta and adjacent communities are grappling once more with the destructive impact of tidal waves, as their homes face inundation.
The Friday morning awakening brought with it the unwelcome sight of seawater infiltrating homes, exacerbating the already dilapidated condition of structures that have long endured the adverse effects of tidal waves.
In conversations with Citi News, distressed residents expressed the unbearable nature of the situation, calling urgently for a comprehensive solution to alleviate the crisis.
The persistent onslaught of tidal waves has left the community in dire straits, prompting residents to plead for swift intervention from authorities.
A resident conveyed the community’s plea, stating, “The tidal waves have been an ongoing source of concern for us. Last year, we suffered from this phenomenon, and this year, we find ourselves grappling with the same issues. We implore the authorities to take immediate action to prevent widespread impact on the community.”
The plea also emphasizes the crucial need for coastal dredging to address the root of the problem.
Beyond the structural damage to homes, residents highlighted the detrimental effects on local businesses, with trees now submerged in the sea.
The community unites in urging authorities to swiftly implement effective measures to safeguard homes and livelihoods from the recurring tidal wave crises.
