Over 90,000 hit by Somalia floods

Over 90,000 people in war-torn southern Somalia have been hit by weeks of severe flooding, almost half of them forced from their homes, the United Nations has warned.

"More than 90,000 people have been affected since October 23 and an estimated 42,000 people displaced as a result of the flash floods and river flooding," the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said.
