Prempeh emphasized that both the VRA and the National Disaster Management Organization (NADMO) are diligently engaged in the distribution of relief items to affected areas.

“The VRA and NADMO have intensified the distribution of relief items and caused several relief interventions to help lessen the burden of displaced people

We are still observing the inflows, and if necessary, we may have to spill,” he said.
