TORRENTIAL RAIN CLAIMS LIFE IN PATEH SAM
The heavy down pour of rain last Tuesday was said to have been the heaviest since the start of this year's season. This heavy down pour had caused panic in Pateh Sam in the Niamina East district. According to Alhagie Abdou Secka, the Alkalo of Pateh Sam, over three compounds were razed to the ground. He said a wall crumbled and fell on one Amie Mama Mbye, which resulted in her death on the spot. He said one Fatou Ceesay sustained a broken leg.
The Alkalo further reported that many sheep and goats died, while the roads from Kerr Samba Mbye and Kaolong were completely cut off. He said the rice fields and groundnut farms were also destroyed. He called on the government and NGOs to help the villagers some of whom are displaced and are without foodstuff. Any potential donor can contact Alkalo on these numbers 9953234 or 4393177 0r 9933599.
