The two institutions jointly presented 150 bags of cement, 200 mosquito nets, a bale of used clothing, and 100 each of plastic cups, plates and buckets.

Others were 30 pieces of blankets, 15 packets of roofing sheets, 100 pieces of sleeping mats and 50 pieces of student mattresses to the people.

Making the presentation, the Atebubu-Amantin district Chief Executive, Mr. Edward Owusu, said President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo was personally interested in the plight of the victims, hence, the prompt response to the situation.

While calling for an equitable distribution of the items, the DCE promised to get the two rivers dredged as soon as possible to forestall any future recurrence.
