Flooding Kills at Least 130 Across Horn of Africa with 770,000 Displaced
------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the Horn of Africa, at least 130 people have been killed after
unrelenting heavy rains triggered once-in-a-century flooding in
Ethiopia, Kenya and Somalia. More than three-quarters of a million
people have been displaced, with the death toll expected to rise. The
flooding follows the region's worst drought in 40 years which pushed
millions of people into extreme hunger.
