The National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO), on Monday pegged the death toll arising from a rainstorm that hit the country from Sunday, June 20, as 26.
Twelve people died in the Central Region, 13 at Ashaiman in the Greater Accra Region and one in the Volta Region.
Mr Kofi Portuphy, Co-ordinator of NADMO made this known during a tour of some of the affected areas in Tema including Kpone, Afienya and Ashaiman Lebanon.
He said about 200 people who were displaced in the Metropolis are being sheltered at the Tema Navel Base. 90 of them have since reunited with their families.
Mr Portuphy said the 48 Engineering Regiment of the Ghana Armed Forces have been dispatched to the Central Region to help in the search and rescue
of more victims.
He commended the regiment for making available two boats to help in the search efforts.
The Greater Accra Regional Minister, Nii Ashietey Armah said the Regional Co-ordinating Council would ensure the demolishing of all
structures on water ways to reduce the floods.
The floods in the metropolis arose when the Kpone- Katamanso dam burst its banks.
Hundreds of people had their belonging washed away by the rains and property running into millions of cedis destroyed.
