A heavy storm over the weekend destroyed about 25 houses in the commercial city of Ganta, Nimba County.

According to our correspondent in Nimba County, the areas of Blegay and Catholic Community, Bo Community and LPMC Community all located in Ganta City were highly hit by the heavy storm. Our correspondent said the storm which occurred for about an hour last Saturday evening has rendered thousands of people displaced.

He added that many displaced persons are now moving from one place to another on the main streets of Ganta in search of shelter.

Nimba County is one region in Liberia that is known for the frequent occurrence of natural disaster.
