Opposition NDC Member of Parliament for Builsa North, James Agalga has warned of a looming food crisis in some parts of the Upper East Region following the destruction caused to farmlands by floods.

Mr. Agalga, who was speaking on Citi FM called for ideas on how to avert such a situation.

“The most threatening issue that we have to grapple with now is the looming food insecurity the region is bound to suffer because crops have been destroyed and farms have been submerged. The issue is how these people will make a living when the dry season sets in. Some of them have lost everything, their homes and farmlands,” he said.

Over 26,000 people are reported to have been displaced with about 19 people injured.
