Amid the hardship and uncertainty of displacement, four women who fled the Gbinyiri land clash have brought new life into the world while taking refuge in the Wenchi Municipality of the Bono Region.
According to Mr. Mohammed Sulemana, Municipal Coordinator of the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO), one of the mothers delivered twins, with all four mothers and their babies reported to be in good health.
“These births, despite the trauma these families have gone through, are a testament to resilience and hope,” Mr. Sulemana said in an interview with the Ghana News Agency.
The displaced persons, numbering over 2,000, sought shelter in Wenchi after violence over a disputed piece of land erupted in the Salwa/Tuna/Kalba District of the Savannah Region on August 25, 2025.
Mr. Sulemana confirmed that 1,902 of the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) had since returned to their homes, while the rest remain in Wenchi. He dismissed rumours of deaths among the IDPs, stressing that all were safe, though in need of continued humanitarian support.
He appealed to individuals, organisations, and government agencies to extend assistance to the displaced families as they rebuild their lives.
For many, the safe delivery of the babies has become a symbol of endurance and a sign that even in times of turmoil, life and hope can still flourish.
