Somalia‘s floods have killed 110 people so far, according to the UN humanitarian agency UN OCHA.
More than one million people have been forced to leave their homes and 2. 4 million people have been affected in 36 regions, the organization said.
UN OCHA told people that there is a big chance of sickness spreading after hearing about possible cases of cholera and watery diarrhea in Hirshabelle and Galmudug.
The agency said that only 30% of the people affected have gotten help. But they have sent out 37 boats to bring supplies to the flooded areas and rescue people who are stuck.
In the past few weeks, Somalia, Kenya, and Ethiopia have had very heavy rains, which have caused deaths, people having to leave their homes, and a lot of damage.
The floods happen because of a weather pattern called El Niño. It happens when the Pacific Ocean gets warmer.
Scientists say that really bad weather like floods will happen more often and be worse because the air is getting warmer from climate change.
