Over two thousand people have been made homeless as a result of flood in Tappita, Nimba County.
The flood also swept away forty houses and left some one hundred and seventy homes partially damaged.
According to Tappita District Representative Edwin Gaye the flood is a result of the over flowing of the Gwein River.
Representative Gaye said so far no one has been reported dead in the flood disaster but feared a possible outbreak of cholera.
The Nimba District # 7 Representative called for the intervention of the Liberia National Red Cross Society, Tear-Fund, the UN and LRRRC.
He said the displaced flood victims are in need of food and other assorted items.
Representative Gaye said the latest flood incident is the second in less than thirty-one years since flood hit Tappita.
