More torrential rains have hit Somalia, this time in Banadir, northeast of the capital Mogadishu, killing nine people and triggering deadly flooding 24,000 people being affected, UN humanitarians said on Wednesday. OCHA said the Banadir rain started Friday, adding to the heavy seasonal downpours that began in mid-April, causing flash flooding that has claimed 17 lives and affected more than 84,000 people across Somalia. Despite heavy rains in most areas of the country, dry and hot conditions persist in parts of northern regions.
