Actress Fella Makafui has joined the number of generous Ghanaians donating some relief items to the victims of the Akosombo Dam spillage.
Over the weekend, the ‘Yolo’ actress said she was shocked by the destruction caused by the spillage, houses and properties submerged in water and the number of victims displaced.
She shared videos and pictures of her visit to the flooded areas.
Through her Fella Makafui Foundation, the entertainer presented some food items, toiletries, mattresses, among others to the chiefs and elders of Mepe in the Volta region.
She appealed for support from Ghanaians at home and abroad as she pledged her team would go back to assist.
Over 26,000 people according to the National Disaster Management Organisation (NaDMO) have been displaced and rendered homeless.
Some institutions and individuals have since presented relief items to residents.
President Akufo-Addo and Vice President Dr Mahama Bawumia and other political figures have also visited the communities.
The leadership of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the Minority caucus has also extended a helping hand to the victims.
