Heavy rains trigger flooding and landslides in Ghana and Ivory Coast, killing at least 24 people, authorities say. In Ghana, flooding affects the capital city, according to reports, as downpours overflow drainage systems and damage areas near waterways. In Ivory Coast, similar rain-related flooding and landslides occur in the capital, with officials reporting deaths and widespread disruption. Across both countries, authorities attribute the casualties to torrential rainfall that leads to fast-moving water and slope failures. Emergency responders work in affected neighborhoods as conditions remain dangerous, while local officials assess damage and try to reach people in impacted areas. The reports describe the situation as severe in both capitals, with deaths confirmed and further impacts expected as rains continue or as officials evaluate the full extent of damage. Both outlets present the same overall death toll and describe flooding and landslides as the main hazards linked to the storm systems.
