Over 500 houses destroyed by tidal waves in Shama-Anlo Beach Community

Residents of Anlo Beach in the Shama District face severe threats from powerful tidal waves eroding their community into the ocean.

Over 500 homes have been destroyed, displacing many families.

One resident recounted losing his home and his wife leaving for Kumasi due to the crisis.

Assembly member Samuel Borlu highlighted that the situation, which began in the mid-90s and worsened significantly in recent years, is now devastating the fishing-dependent community.

Residents urgently seek government intervention for shelter and a sea defense system to protect their homes and livelihoods.
