An overnight storm, which residents described as “devastating” destroyed several residential areas in five towns in Nimba Cunty over the weekend.
The devastated towns have been identified as Gbeh Younlay, Zor Tahpa, Duoplay and Zean New Town.
The towns are located in Nimba County Electoral District #3.
The storm also made several other inhabitants homeless, many of them farmers.
According to reports, more than 70 houses were destroyed, including three elementary and junior high schools.
The situation, one report said, is so heart-breaking.
The victims have meanwhile, called for urgent attention, mainly from the administration of the National Disaster Management Agency (NDMA), the offices of the county two senators (Samuel G. Kogar and Nya D. Twayea); officials of government and any well-meaning citizens hailing from District #3, to swiftly intervene.
