Flood in Limbe Cameroon
For many decades, the town of Limbe especially the down beach area has been submerged usually after heavy rains. In recent years, the flood has been frequent and severe, reflecting the effects of climate change and highlighting land, urban Governance challenges. As a result, the road from the old market passing through the Manga Williams Avenue to Mbonjo as well as the clerk quarters' area is usually under covered making movement almost impossible. The community health center located within this area is greatly affected as the water gets into the wards of the facility. Also, people from the community have little or no access to the facility on such days. It's worthnothing that many banks, including the central bank (BEAC) branch, are situated here. This renders transactions difficult as access to the banks is limited. In addition to the aforementioned, the dockyard area isn't left out. Here is where fishermen live. The flood disrupts the fish ( both fresh and smoked) trade.
