Former President John Dramani Mahama has donated some items to victims of the tidal waves in Keta, Anlo, and Ketu South in the Volta Region.

The items include 1,000 bags of five kg rice, 3,000 pieces of mattresses, 2,000 pieces of canned fish, 2,000 pieces of canned tomatoes, and 2,000 litres of cooking oil. 

This comes at the back of a tidal wave that hit some communities in the Keta and Ketu South Municipalities over the weekend, leaving hundreds of residents displaced.

Mahama also inspected the extent of damage caused by the tidal waves at Anyanui.
