Victims still struggling a year after Akosombo Dam spillage

One year after the Akosombo Dam spillage, many victims are still displaced, living in harsh conditions in tents and classrooms.

The September 2023 dam release, intended to protect its structure, displaced thousands in the lower Volta basin.

Despite the disaster's impact, affected individuals have not received substantial help from the government or the Volta River Authority (VRA).

Victims express frustration over the lack of updates and support, with some losing farms and homes.

Many are struggling to rebuild their lives, facing continued hardship and uncertainty.
