The Northern Regional Office of National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO), on Thursday dispatched three vehicles loaded with relief items to displaced persons in Bunkrugu/Yunyoo District in the region. The items include 200 packets of roofing sheets, 30 packets of nails, 3,000 poly mats, 200 plastic bowls, 200 plastic buckets, 100 cartons of soap, a quantity of used clothing, 400 student mattresses and 15 tents. The Northern Regional Coordinator of NADMO, Alhaji Mahama Abdulai Silimboma, told the GNA that the gesture formed part of government's support for the displaced persons, following conflicts in the area. He said more assistance from the government and other development organizations was expected towards the rehabilitation of the victims. Alhaji Silimboma called on the displaced persons who had gone to Northern Togo to return home and continue with their livelihood, and reminded the people that it was only through peace that they could progress. He appealed for assistance from individuals, organizations and donor agencies to complement government efforts. The people of Kumbatiac and Gbankoni and other communities in the Bunkrugu/Yunyoo had engaged in communal and chieftaincy clashes resulting in some of the victims fleeing to nearby Togolese towns for safety. International media report indicates that some 3, 5000 Ghanaians had fled to Northern Togo, an accession that the Government of Ghana had refuted. Source: GNA
