Government Provides Rapid Aid to Ghana in Wake of Blast

MTI-Hungary Today 2022.01.22.

The Prime Minister’s Office on Friday sent condolences to the families of the victims of the explosion that killed or injured close to hundred people near the town of Bogoso in Ghana.

The government is providing humanitarian rapid aid relief of 5 million forints (EUR 14,000) under the Hungary Helps humanitarian programme, the office said in a statement. The aid will be delivered by the Hungarian Ecumenical Charity and distributed in partnership with its local organisation in support of rescue operations and the medical treatment of survivors.

As a country of origin for migrants leaving for Europe, Ghana is a major beneficiary of the Hungary Helps programme, it added.

A truck carrying explosives to a local gold mine collided with a motorcycle, causing a fire on Thursday.
