Floods in Ethiopia

More than 364 people were killed in southern Ethiopia due to flooding of the Omo river. Major loss of life is also feared in the area of the Awash river. According to Reliefweb, some 870 have died since heavy rains began to fall in Ethiopia starting early August. The death toll is feared to be very high as access to affected regions is extremely difficult.
