Torrential rains trigger severe flooding in Accra, Ghana, killing at least three people and paralyzing parts of the capital, reports from Nigeria and Ghana-based media say. The flooding follows days of heavy rainfall across the city, with residents describing worsening inundation. Multiple outlets attribute the scale of the flooding to factors including climate change and rapid, unplanned urbanisation. Ghana’s president is reported to have blamed climate change and unchecked urban growth. Local accounts cited by one outlet also point to worsening flood conditions in recent years as the city expands and drainage and infrastructure struggle to cope with heavy rain. While details on the precise locations of deaths and the full extent of damage are not consistent across the provided reports, all sources describe the same core event: heavy rains lead to widespread flooding in Accra on Monday, result in at least three fatalities, and significantly disrupt daily life and movement in the capital. The reports also indicate authorities are responding as the situation remains disruptive.
