15 FEBRUARY 1998. SOMALIA: CLIMATE (MORE RAINS?)

Reuters reports that Somalia, already reeling from 2,000 dead and several hundred thousand homeless, may face heavy rains and flooding during its upcoming March to June rainy season. Almost half a million people are being fed by relief efforts.

Much of the area remains cut off by water, accessible only by plane.
