Mogadishu (HOL) - Somalia is grappling with catastrophic floods that have impacted approximately 175,000 people, a sharp increase from 100,000 just two weeks prior and displaced 140,000 individuals. The most severely affected areas are the Baardheere district in Jubaland State and Baidoa in Southwest State, where shelters and farmland have been obliterated, livestock washed away, roads rendered impassable, and schools forced to close.
