NAIROBI, Kenya — Heavy rains and flash flooding have killed at least 40 people and displaced tens of thousands in Kenya and Somalia, aid agencies reported Monday.
The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs warned of a high risk of flooding along the Juba and Shabelle rivers and called for the evacuation of people living along the entire stretch of the Juba. “The magnitude of the current floods is likely to deteriorate in the next few days due to the emergence of more water from upstream in the Ethiopian Highlands,” Isse said.In neighboring Kenya, the Kenya Red Cross said the death toll had risen to 15 since the heavy rains began on Friday, with the port city of Mombasa and the northeastern counties of Mandera and Wajir the worst affected.
Weather forecasters in Kenya started warning in September that rains would be heavier than usual during the short rainy season between October and December.
