Azizadzi (VR), Aug. 3, GNA - High tidal waves have in the past 10 days displaced about 70 people at Azizadzi, Sorku and Horvi, all small communities east of Keta.
Miss Dzifa Ametewee, a victim told the Ghana News Agency (GNA) on Saturday that she and other affected families were putting up with relatives at Agavedzi and other nearby towns.
The GNA counted 15 houses, which were deep in water, with some walls destroyed and some compounds flooded.
The Great Lakes Dredge and Dock Company, which is handling the Keta Sea Defence Project had, meanwhile dug a trench beneath the street to allow the flood waters to empty into the Keta Lagoon on the opposite side. The general feeling among people in the area was that, on completion of the Keta Sea Defence Project, tidal waves could turn to be higher and more destructive along the coast east of Keta, towards Denu-Aflao.
