South Africa - Three people have died this week after heavy flooding wreaked havoc in parts of the Eastern Cape. Meanwhile, on Thursday, floods also claimed a man's life who slipped over an embarkment while fishing at Coffee Bay area in King Sabata Dalindyebo Local Municipality. The heavy downpours have left a trail of destruction to infrastructure, households, and businesses. 10 bridges have been washed away, making it difficult for the community members to access schools and nearby facilities.
Somalia - At least 14 people have been killed in southern Somalia after torrential rains triggered flash floods that have caused havoc in several towns and villages. Bridges, roads and houses have been damaged or destroyed and many people have been forced to flee their homes in search of safer ground. In the town of Baardhere in Jubaland state, 14 people were killed including three members of the same family. Most of the casualties were caused after the victims were trapped across a bridge in the town Thursday evening which was swept up in the floods. The rains signal the early start of the April-June rainy season, and have brought some relief to areas of the country suffering from the worst drought in four decades.
