NADMO gets ready to receive refugees from Cote d'Ivoire

The Shama-Ahanta East Metropolitan Disaster Management Committee has drawn up a contingency plan for refugees from Cote d'Ivoire should hostilities resume in that country.

Mr Alex Adu-Boahen, the Metropolitan Co-ordinator of NADMO, told the Ghana News Agency (GNA) in an interview that the plan included refugees' reception, accommodation, feeding, health and transportation.

They would be screened and Ghanaians among them would be separated from the foreigners. The Ghanaians would be transported to their destinations while the rest would be sent to a refugee camp in the Mpohor Wassa East District.

''The biggest draw back of the metropolitan office of the NADMO is lack of means of transportation and other logistics,'' he said and appealed to Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) to help the organisation to means of transport.
