Accra floods: Task force identifies structures obstructing natural water channels at Oyarifa
The Flood Mitigation Task Force has identified several developments in Oyarifa, a suburb of the national capital, Accra, that have disrupted natural water channels and drainage patterns as part of ongoing efforts to address the causes of flooding.
