 Flooding displaces over 16,000 people in South/Central

The Flood Information Group estimates that at least 16,000 people have been displaced by flooding in Hiraan, Gedo and Lower Shabelle regions. The floods have damaged river embankments, collapsed latrines and contaminated shallow wells. Most of the displaced populations so far have been able to move to houses of relatives. The forecast for the coming week is moderate risk of flooding in the lower reaches of the Shabelle and Juba rivers due to moderate rains in the catchments of the two rivers both in Ethiopia and Somalia.
