About 150 houses including; two schools in seven communities in the Mion District of the Northern Region have been ripped-up whiles parts of the buildings collapsed following a rainstorm disaster that hit the district on Wednesday evening.
Hundreds of residents of the affected communities including Laamado, Tidando, Nalangni, Nadundo, Jagrido, Binalokdo and Sobitido have been rendered homeless and are putting up with friends and relatives, who were not affected.
