TEN more bodies of those who were drowned in the recent boat disaster at Wusuta-Tornu have been retrieved.
This brings to 12 the number of bodies so far retrieved, with hope diminishing for any further find.
Meanwhile, the upkeep of 24 children rescued from the disaster is still a challenge to the community, since some of them lost their parents in the tragedy.
The Assembly Member for the Tornu Electoral Area, Mr Emmanuel Afelete, gave this updates following the disaster last week Monday.
He said the Volta Regional Minister, Mr Joseph Amenowode, had visited the community to console the people who, in turn, discussed problems in the area, particularly the poor road network, with the regional minister.
The Member of Parliament for North Dayi, Ms Akua Sena Dansua, had also presented a bag of rice and some cooking oil to the victims, he noted.
Mr Afelete also said some members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Kpando Central Constituency had visited the people to sympathise with them.
