Dangriga Flooding Too!

There is also flooding further south in Dangriga. Many yards are inundated with water and some residents are appealing for help as they are unable to come out of their homes.  One resident says that the flood waters pose more threat in her neighbourhood because of improper drainage.

Ydahlia, Dangriga Resident

“We live right across the canal, well, we are surrounded by the canal but every time I go dah town council for them to move the garbage they left behind my daughter house for the water to flow out of my yard they don’t come and do it. They just left it, dump it right around and whenever it rains it gets flooded and we have a lot of mosquito. One of the things I am afraid of is that I have to walk in water and mi daughter-in-law pregnant and I fraid fi Zika and all ah deh sickness deh and snake and all of that.”
