The Bono Regional Director of the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO), Fati Kine-Lam, says the region has recorded an additional 252 Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) of the Gbinyiri clash in two districts.
She said 250 of the IDPs were being sheltered in some communities in Tain, and two of them at Suma-Ahenkro in the Jaman North District.
Speaking in an interview with the Ghana News Agency (GNA) in Sunyani, Mrs Kine-Lam said so far about 800 IDPs, including about 500 children, had sought shelter in the region with the highest of them being sheltered in the Wenchi Municipality.
Reports indicate that about 30 people have died since the clash erupted over a piece of land at Gbinyiri in the Swla-Tuna-Kalba District of the Savannah Region, on Sunday, August 25, 2025, displacing many others, mostly women, girls and children.
Mrs Kine-Lam noted that the health conditions of most of the children and some pregnant mothers were not the best, and appealed for more humanitarian services.
