Only in Somali media will one find any decent reporting about the extent of the floods in southern Somalia. It really goes to show what the world thinks about our plight!
After close to a month after the floods of the Shabelle river, close to 800,000 people have been affected, many of whom were subsistence farmers, now these people are still living in trees seeking protection from crocodiles & hippos said to have killed many unsuspecting civilians.
Our people are suffering (most of those affected are minority clans) & no international help is anywhere near!
It is up to every Somali regardless of clan to help these affected people. Almost all hawala companies have set up special accounts where one can transfer money to local aid agencies in Somalia to help these people.
Even $5 can make a difference, let us all do what we can!
