            Officials Fear Somalia Cyclone Death Toll May Reach 300

   Officials in Somalia`s Puntland region say they fear as many as 300
   people have died after a cyclone brought days of high winds and
   flooding rains.
   The government said Wednesday many people remain missing following the
   storm that made landfall Saturday, destroying a large number of homes
   and boats, and washing away livestock and roads.
   Cape Guardufui in northeastern Puntland and the town of Eyl were some
   of the areas hardest hit by the storm.
   The government has declared a state of emergency and asked for
   international aid to help those in need of food, water, shelter and
   medicine.
