At least 130 dead after ‘worst flooding of the century’ hits Horn of Africa

At least 130 people have died after the Horn of Africa region was battered by flooding.

Aid agencies are describing it as the ‘worst flooding this century’.

Somalia has been the affected the worst where 51 people have died and more than half a million people remain displaced.

Ethiopia and Kenya also bore the brunt of the flash floods.

People travelling by bus in the Kenyan city of Mombasa had to be evacuated and pulled to safety by rope as flash flooding surrounded the vehicle while others waited on top to be rescued.
