Comments:
Heavy rains starting at the beginning of June 2015 have left most parts of Ghana's capital Accra, its suburbs and other cities flooded. On 4 Jun, a fuel station in Accra exploded as a result of the floods, leaving an estimated 150 people dead. Significant numbers of people have been displaced and are accommodated temporarily in areas where water, food supply and sanitation access are poor due to crowded conditions.
