  "account": "The National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) announced that their relief stock can support more than 91,000 flood victims displaced by the June 29 floods in Ghana. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) presented a donation worth $1 million to Ghana's government on Monday, August 10, through the UAE Office of the Minister of State for Climate Change and Sustainability in partnership with NADMO. The relief package comprises 5,000 student mattresses, bags of rice, and cooking oil. Speaking at NADMO's Head Office, NADMO's Director-General, Dr Joseph Bikanyi Kuyon, expressed gratitude for the UAE's intervention, which significantly bolstered the organization's capacity to address the needs of affected communities. He stated that with the latest supplies, NADMO could extend support to over 91,000 displaced flood victims. Dr Kuyon also emphasized the importance of international partners not only providing assistance after disasters but also supporting Ghana's preparedness and prevention efforts, stressing that stronger support before disasters would help improve the country's preparedness and minimize the impact of future emergencies. The UAE's donation was specifically purchased from the Ghanaian market to support local businesses while providing assistance to the flood victims. The flood affected 38,802 people in the Greater Accra Region alone, displacing 7,761 households, as reported to Parliament by the Ministry of the Interior.",
