KABUL (Pajhwok): The worst flooding in decades in southwestern Somalia has killed at least 29 people and forced 300,000 more to flee their homes, media reports said on Thursday.
Muhammad Malein Abdullah, head of Somalia Natural Disaster Management Agency, told media more than 800,000 people have been affected by floods caused by heavy rains.
The floods inundated towns across East Africa, with authorities scrambling to rescue thousands of stranded people from the floodwater, which comes on the heels of the region's worst drought in 40 years.
