Thursday, June 26, 2008
Unimpeachable sources infromed the Daily Observer that two people have reportedly been confirmed dead and many injured in Farafenni, in the wake of last Saturday's windstorm that struck most parts of the country.

Confirming the story to the Daily Observer, Lamin Kebba Jammeh, the NAM for Baddibu Illiassa, said  one of the deaths was a fisherman, who had his boat capsized by the storm.

According to the Illiassa parliamentarian, the other deceased died after some blocks from the walls of his house fell on him. He said the wife and children of one Bakary Sonko in Farafenni also sustained injuries, when the windstorm hit their house.

He added that a room of the Farafenni Police Anex and the newly built Immigration offices were also affected by the windstorm.

In Illiassa, Hon Jammeh added, the storm has displaced many families and called on disaster relief organistions and samaritans for help.

Reports also disclosed that the storm has caused havoc in Baddibu Salikenni, North Bank Region.

Organistions and samaritans willing to help can call 990 2289 / 706 6670.
