Floods caused by the annual rains have left "a trail of destruction" across Somalia, a United Nations spokesman said, citing inundated homes and farmland as well as the shutdown of health facilities.
"According to early estimates by our partners, more than 460,000 people have been impacted, including nearly 219,000 men, women and children who have been displaced due to this (flooding)," Stephane Dujarric said in a statement.
At least five people, including three children, have been killed in the flooding, Mohamed Moalim of the Somalia National Disaster Management Agency told The Associated Press.

Isn’t Somalia mostly semi-arid? It doesn’t work too good when the ground bakes and rain comes.

Well, at least they aren’t so thirsty that they have to come to Milwaukee for “asylum” from the floods.
