Ganta-Saclepea Highway, Nimba, Liberia: – As relentless rains batter Liberia, residents of Nimba County and those in South-Eastern Liberia find themselves in a dire situation, particularly near the Lee Creek area, just before the entrance to Lessonnoh Karnwee town along the Ganta-Saclepea highway which is one of the major routes to the South-East. The persistent downpour has created significant travel barriers, complicating the transportation of essential goods and services and exacerbating the hardships faced by citizens in Nimba and the southeastern region of the country.
Heavy rainfall has led to rivers and creeks overflowing their banks, creating a perilous environment for those attempting to travel or transport goods. The Ganta-Saclepea highway, a vital artery for trade and access to healthcare, is now severely compromised, with reports of impassable roads and disrupted supply chains. As a result, the flow of food, medical supplies, and other necessities has been significantly hindered, increasing the strain on local communities.
One of the most alarming consequences of this flooding is the impact on health. With roads rendered impassable, sick individuals, including pregnant women in need of urgent medical attention, face daunting obstacles in accessing healthcare facilities. The risk of delays in referrals for critical care has escalated, raising concerns about the safety and well-being of vulnerable populations.
Amid this mounting crisis, residents are urgently appealing to the central government for assistance. They seek immediate relief measures, including the provision of resources to restore accessibility along the Ganta-Saclepea highway and support for those affected by the flooding. The community’s voice is clear: action is needed to mitigate the challenges posed by this natural disaster and to ensure that essential services can reach those in need.
