FLOOD VICTIMS IN BAYELSA CRY OUT FOR HELP

Residents of some Bayelsa State communities affected by the rampaging flood have called on the state government to find a lasting solution to the menace.

They also appealed to the government to provide temporary shelters and relief materials as the flood has already sacked them from their homes.

The flood disaster has been escalating as the rainy season reached its peak, particularly since the beginning of October, ravaging communities and settlements in the state which is on the fringe of the Atlantic Ocean.

Last month, in anticipation of the rise in water level, the state government directed public and private schools to proceed on what it called ‘flood break’ to protect pupils.
