At least five people have sustained injuries in a rainstorm that collapsed over sixty houses in the Amakye-Bare community in the Atwima Nwabiagya District of Ashanti region.
According to residents, the downpour lasted only five minutes with strong winds, destroying properties and rendering families homeless.
The rainstorm has left over 100 people homeless.
Assembly member of the area, Collins Osei-Tutu told JoyNews some of the buildings collapsed on people, leaving at least five injured.
An early intervention helped rescue people trapped in their homes to save lives.
"In one house, a man, his wife and children were trapped in a collapsed building; they sustained injuries but no lives were lost. Some workers who were in a container during the heavy storm were swept away," Collins explained.

A traditional ruler in the community has supported the victims by paying their medical bills.
The residents are however calling on the government and other non-governmental organisations to come to their aid.
"We have reported the incident to the district assembly, and the district NADMO director, awaiting their support," said the assembly member.
