NADMO appeals for urgent support following Tidal Wave destruction in Moree
NADMO (National Disaster Management Organisation) appealed for immediate humanitarian assistance following a tidal wave disaster at Moree in the Abura-Asebu-Kwamankese District of the Central Region. The Central Regional NADMO Director, Kwesi Dawood, said, "We need urgent relief support and a permanent sea defence wall which will go a long way to avoid what we have witnessed in the past three days."
The tidal wave incident has affected the coastal fishing community over the past three days, displacing several families and causing extensive damage to homes and other property. Mr. Dawood described the situation as a climate-related disaster that requires coordinated intervention from government agencies, development partners and other stakeholders. He added, "What we have witnessed in Moree is a tidal wave-induced disaster that needs a multi-pronged advocacy and action to tackle it. Moree requires immediate humanitarian intervention and long-term engineering and policy solutions such as addressing the impact of the stalled sea defence project and other climate interventions that will prevent a future occurrence."
Speaking on Channel One TV on Monday, May 18, Mr. Dawood stressed that long-term measures must be prioritised alongside emergency relief efforts to safeguard vulnerable coastal communities. The tidal waves have renewed concerns about the growing impact of coastal erosion and climate change on fishing communities along Ghana's coastline.
