Watch as woman and baby are saved from floodwaters

At Apam-Mumford in the Gomoa West District of the Central Region, a dramatic rescue unfolded as a woman and her baby were saved from their home after being trapped by severe flooding.

In a video that has since gone viral, a group of brave men are seen coordinating a risky but successful rescue operation. The men held on to one end of a rope, while another man, securely tied to the other end, waded through the dangerous floodwaters to reach the stranded woman and her child.

The floodwaters, which had risen rapidly due to recent heavy rains, had cut off the woman’s home, making it impossible for her and her baby to escape on their own. The situation grew increasingly perilous as water levels continued to rise, prompting urgent calls for help.

Responding to the emergency, the group of local men quickly devised a plan to save the trapped residents. With one man tied to the rope for safety, he courageously made his way through the deep and turbulent waters. The video captures the tense moments as he struggled against the current, determined to reach the woman and her baby.

After what seemed like an eternity, the rescuer reached the home and carefully brought the woman and her baby to safety, one by one. The group then pulled the trio back to dry ground, where onlookers cheered and offered their gratitude for the successful rescue.

This heroic act highlights the community’s spirit and the lengths to which people will go to help one another in times of crisis. The rescued woman and her baby are reported to be safe and unharmed, thanks to the quick thinking and bravery of their neighbors.
