Africa-Press – Liberia. <\/strong><\/span>By Titus Yekeryan, Bong County<\/p>\n

Violent storms have destroyed more than 50 houses in Zota District, Bong County, leaving hundreds of residents homeless as they wander in frustration for shelters.<\/p>\n

The storm on Monday evening, February 22, 2022 also reportedly left several persons injured.<\/p>\n

In a local town called Global Village, some Liberian returnees reside, more than 10 of their houses were unroofed as a result of the disaster.<\/p>\n

In Naanah, a Liberian border town with Guinea, four other persons sustained injuries after the storm broke a portion of their house. Nearly 70 percent of the five-bedroom structure crumbled on occupants inside.<\/p>\n

One of the victims suffered a broken leg while others sustained cuts and survived pains on the backs and neck respectively.<\/p>\n

Speaking to the NewDawn on Tuesday, February 23, villagers appealed to the National Disaster Management Team and the Liberia National Red Cross Society to speedily intervene.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re calling on the Red Cross and other government agencies or goodwill individuals to help us\u201d, pleads Jerry Flomo, one of the victims.<\/p>\n

He says they have no other alternative but to sleep in open places and with friends in the town.<\/p>\n

Nancy Kollie, a window with four children, lost her house in the disaster, and is now in dire need of assistance.<\/p>\n

Madam Kollie is frustrated about the situation and laments that she has no hope of relocating her family due to the lack of finance.<\/p>\n

Speaking in tears to this paper she appeals, \u201cI really want help, whosoever listening or reading what I am saying, please come and help me for humanity\u2019s sake. My children and I are frustrated due to the lack of sleeping place. Last night, we all slept at the town hall but tonight I don\u2019t even know where we will go because the town hall is leaking seriously.\u201d<\/p>\n
