MOGADISHU, Nov. 24 (Xinhua) -- Somali authorities and humanitarian agencies have urgently ramped up response activities to mitigate the devastation caused by heavy rains, flash and riverine floods, reaching at least 743,000 people across Somalia with various forms of aid, the United Nations said on Friday.
The International Rescue Committee (IRC) is issuing an alarm in response to the severe flooding wreaking havoc across the Hiraan, Bakool, Bay, and Gedo regions of Somalia. The recent heavy seasonal Deyr rains (October to December) have resulted in catastrophic consequences, affecting over 1.77 million people who have lost their homes and properties, or their animals and crops, claiming at least 41 lives, and displacing over 649,000 individuals from their homes.
