Somalia wave victims 'forgotten'.

Quote:

Aid workers have described a scene of devastation on the Somali island of Hafun, a fishing community of 2,500. The floods killed 120 in Somalia with 35 missing and some 50,000 displaced, its prime minister said on Thursday.
Displaced families on Hafun desperately need aid as they have no clean water, food, medicine or shelter as most of their homes and possession were swept away. "Cases of diarrhoea and other diseases are already being reported," the UN's World Food Programme said in a statement.
