Ghana's death toll from last week's floods has risen to 34, with authorities warning the number could increase as rescue efforts continue.

The flooding, caused by heavy rainfall on June 29, affected seven regions, damaged key infrastructure and forcing tens of thousands of people to flee.

Richard Amo Yartey, Director of Inspectorate at the National Disaster Management Organization (NADMO), said the toll could rise as officials verify reports of missing people against bodies recovered from flood-hit areas.

"The death toll in Accra is 12, across the country is 34, but it could go up," Amo Yartey told local broadcaster TV3. "If we do the matching and realize that some of the people missing have been found dead, then the death toll will increase and those listed as missing will reduce."

NADMO said the floods have displaced 89,736 people nationwide, making it one of the country's worst weather-related disasters in recent years.

Meanwhile, the Ghana Armed Forces said on Friday it would deploy troops, military engineers and specialized equipment to support a nationwide cleanup and flood recovery operation.

Brigadier General Forster Okae-Yeboah, Director General of Joint Operations at the Ghana Armed Forces, said the operation is part of a broader government plan to restore damaged infrastructure and reduce the risk of future flooding.

Authorities have urged residents in vulnerable areas to remain vigilant as cleanup efforts continue, while humanitarian agencies and emergency responders assist displaced families in the hardest-hit communities.
