For decades, residents of the Ketu South Municipality have battled the encroaching sea, losing homes, farmlands, and infrastructure to tidal waves.

Despite efforts by successive governments to mitigate the problem through the sea defence project, many vulnerable communities remain exposed, heightening fears of further devastation.

In recent days, the situation has worsened, with powerful tidal waves sweeping through several coastal communities.

The destruction has displaced hundreds of residents, wiping out homes, cemeteries, and livelihoods.
