Puntland Declares A Natural Disaster Emergency Many Dead....

[oxymoron]

Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un (إِنَّا لِلّهِ وَإِنَّـا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعونَ)
Storms kills about 100 in Somalia's Puntland, more missing





(Reuters) - At least 100 people were killed over the weekend when a tropical cyclone hit Somalia's semi-autonomous Puntland region, President Abdirahman Mohamud Farole said on Monday, appealing for help from aid agencies.

"A heavy storm hit Bandarbeyle and Eyl towns on Saturday and Sunday. About a hundred people died. Hundreds of houses and livestock were swept by the floods into the ocean," Farole told reporters in the capital Garowe.

"We urge United Nations aid agencies to assist the victims. As Puntland, we have established a committee to investigate the loss and damage. Electricity, communication and fishing boats were all destroyed."

The government of Puntland said in a statement that hundreds of people remained unaccounted for and declared a natural disaster emergency.

Puntland spans the relatively calm north of Somalia and has largely escaped the worst of Somalia's upheaval of the last 20 years. Foreign powers advocating a loose federal political system in Somalia have held it up as a possible model.

The area is rich in energy resources and is being sized up by oil explorers. However, Puntland's authorities have said insecurity is growing, and blame the Islamist al Shabaab militia, which has been driven out of many regions that it used to control in the remainder of Somalia.

Somalia: Puntland Govt Declares Disaster Emergency, Over 100 People Feared Dead


Puntland State Of Somalia
Garowe


PRESS RELEASE
11 November 2013



Puntland Government declares a Natural Disaster Emergency in parts of the State after a tropical cyclone storm wreaked death and destruction across its path along the vast coast of Puntland State, Somalia.
The storm made landfall on Saturday morning (Nov. 9, 2013) in the vast coastal area of Puntland, particularly between Eyl, Beyla, Dangorayo, and Hafun Districts (Garduusharea) along the eastern coast, to Alula District at the tip of the Horn of Africa, along the
northeastern coast of Puntland.

The storm brought high wind speeds and heavy torrential rains, causing flash floods and cutting off road access to the coastal areas. Weather forecasts indicate that the storm pattern is expected to expand further inland and continue up to Wednesday.

The Government has established Puntland Disaster Management and Rescue Committee to organize and coordinate relief efforts, consisting of Ministry of Planning, Ministry of Health, Ministry of Interior and Local Government, and Puntland’s Disaster Management Agency (HADMA). Information collected from coastal areas via irregular telephone contact over the past 48 hours indicates that up to 100 persons might have been killed, while hundreds of other people remain unaccounted for.
Preliminary information also indicates that homes, buildings, boats and entire villages have been destroyed and over 100,000 livestock lost, endangering the livelihoods of tens of thousands of local people. Villagers and nomadic communities remain most
affected by the storm.

Affected coastal areas are in need of emergency supplies of clean water, non-perishable foods, medicines, emergency shelter materials, and blankets. The Government is actively organizing relief efforts and establishing makeshift shelter centers in interior villages for persons displaced by the storms. The Government appeals to the people of Puntland to send donations and relief supplies.
The Government issues an international appeal to humanitarian aid agencies to organize emergency supply delivery via airdrops to the coastal area and its immediate hinterland, as the vast area east of Puntland’s north-south tarmac highway is expected to remain inaccessible.

Better get on it quick ! I already drafted one for my buddy Qeybdiid and the Governor of Hobyo region, Dr. Jeesto. I am going to point to old ruins and say that 10,000 people lived there before the storm.

Get Money Adeer ! Get Money Adeer !

My Caucasian sources in Baari state there is no indications of a severe cyclone impacting or killing as many people. UN is calling sentinels and monitoring stations off the cost (NAVFOR).
