The North East Regional Minister, Yidana Zakari, has expressed fear that communities in the conflict-ravaged Chereponi district especially Sakou, are on the brink of famine as all their food, water and basic amenities were totally destroyed in the clashes.
The Regional Minister who toured the areas on Monday, described the situation as dire, sounding an alarm for aid.
He has appealed to the government and philanthropists to intervene before it is too late.
“We went with NADMO officials, we have a few plastic buckets, some blankets and water for them. We know that is not enough, but that is just an interim measure. But going forward, we think that we’re to mobilise strongly and come back so that we’ll help alleviate the suffering that the people are going through”.
“I can tell you for sure they don’t have food, all their foodstuff has been burnt. No cooking utensils, they have lost almost everything that has. So I want to use your medium to appeal to the Ghanaian people if they can come to our aid” he said.
