Emergency Relief Pouring into Flood-Stricken Somalia

Lisa Schlein

   GENEVA - Emergency assistance is starting to pour into Somalia, where
   hundreds of thousands have been driven from their homes by severe
   flooding.

   More than 300,000 people have been made homeless by some of the worst
   flooding experienced by Somalia in years. Parts of the country,
   especially in the central Somali district of Belet Weyne, have been
   devastated.
