Sierra Leone thanks Ghana for support

Sierra Leone’s High Commissioner to Ghana, Umu Hawa Tejan-Jalloh, expressed gratitude to Ghana for its support following the mudslide that killed about 400 people.

Government airlifted relief items worth GHc 1 million on Friday after various corporate bodies and individuals contributed to support Sierra Leone.

Speaking at the presentation of relief items to her country, Madam Umu Hawa Tejan-Jalloh, who was fighting back the tears, said her country was overwhelmed by the gesture. She said," throughout the years, Ghana has always been there for us and Ghana has always helped us; during the Ebola crisis, during the fire and during several disasters that have taken place in Sierra Leone, not to talk of the 10-year war – Ghana has always been there for us.”

In addition to the relief items, the National Disaster Management Organization (NADMO) is also sending a technical team together with some volunteers to Sierra Leone to help with the rescue mission.
