Monrovia is facing another devastating rainy season as climate change brings heavier and more unpredictable rainfall, worsening flooding across low-lying communities. Thousands of families have been affected by flooded homes, disrupted schooling, lost livelihoods, illness, and even deaths. Experts say the crisis is being fueled not only by climate change, but also by blocked drainage systems, construction in wetlands, poor urban planning, and inadequate disaster preparedness. Residents are calling on the government to reopen waterways, improve drainage infrastructure, and protect wetlands to prevent recurring floods that continue to threaten lives and communities across the city.
