As torrential rains continue to wreak havoc in a part of the North East Region, residents of Mamprugu Moaduri district are crying out for assistance as they are trapped in floods.

The residents have been trapped in their communities for two months now after the district was cut off from the rest of the region following the weeks-long severe downpours.

Roads have been damaged, bridges submerged, and farmlands turned into rivers by massive floodwaters. A long stretch through Bolga to Sandema and Fumbisi remains the only option to reach the district now. 

But with motorbikes, daring travellers and desperate residents are still risking it all to wade through waist level-water and cross deathtrap bridges using the Walewale Kpasenkpe Kunkua road.

The situation, JoyNews visit found, had slowed daily life activities as residents of the district cannot travel out from the communities to market centres or seek healthcare service.

The residents now rely on canoes as the only means of transportation to visit their farms and seek critical and emergency services.

Some of the residents who spoke to JoyNews in the capital, Yagaba, said they need help to resume socioeconomic while others expressed fear of hunger and hardship if help is not extended to them.

"As you can see for yourself, the destruction is overwhelming. All our farmland have turned into rivers, and everything is gone," a 70-year-old palace elder said.

"There would be hunger in the coming days; all of us would have to move to the south to survive," a resident, Abdullah Karimu, predicted.

Meanwhile, others also took on local politicians in the area, accusing them of neglect and failed promises. 

"Take a lot at how we are suffering, yet every season we vote for NPP", Angry market woman, Samata, said as she stormed out from a canoe.

"We can no longer come to market here. But why do you think we vote for you every term? So we are telling you to fix our roads else you won't vote for you again".

One farmer who said they hadn't been able to visit their farms for two months was charged on the DCE.

"The DCE hasn't been here since this happened. He just came and stood there briefly and left. So for us, we don't care about NDC and NPP anymore. We will vote for whoever fixes this road".

The residents have called on the Disaster Management Organization to dispatch personnel of the Marine Police and the 48 Engineers Regiment to the area.
