Residents of Salakope, Agavedzi, and adjoining coastal communities in the Ketu South Municipality of the Volta Region are reeling from the devastating impact of tidal waves that have swept through their towns, leaving behind a trail of destruction.

Homes have been submerged, properties lost, and livelihoods disrupted, as residents express frustration over the persistent nature of the crisis.

For decades, communities along this coastal stretch have faced the recurring threat of tidal waves and sea erosion, a situation worsened by climate change and rising sea levels.

The latest disaster, which began on February 1 and is expected to continue until February 4, has heightened fears that the already fragile Keta-Havedzi-Denu-Aflao road network could be completely wiped away.
