People have been urged to relocate to high ground or stay indoors as more rain is expected to come. At least 13 people have died in Ghana's capital, Accra, after torrential rain resulted in severe flooding, according to the fire service which has been involved in rescue efforts. The government has urged people to stay indoors or move to higher ground, as the meteorological agency warned further rain was expected with a big storm approaching from the east. Much of the water from Sunday night's downpours has begun to recede, but as the recovery operation continues, the Ghana National Fire Service (GNF) said the death toll could rise. Emergency response teams have been deployed to the flood-affected region, including from the police, fire service, the military and the National Disaster Management Organisation. The GNFS said it had rescued more than 470 people so far. The floods also triggered a major fire at a rubber factory in the city. The government has called for people to relocate to higher safe grounds and to avoid travelling in flooded areas.
