WIRE — The Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) will deploy personnel, engineers and specialised equipment to clear major drains, rivers and other waterways as part of a government-led national flood recovery operation following the devastating floods that hit parts of the country on June 28 and 29, 2026. The military-led exercise will focus on removing debris, silt, fallen trees, abandoned vehicles and other obstructions that have worsened flooding and blocked critical drainage systems. Addressing journalists in Accra on Friday, July 3, Brigadier General Forster Okae-Yeboah, Director General of Joint Operations at the Ghana Armed Forces, said the deployment forms part of a coordinated national response to restore affected infrastructure and reduce future flood risks.
