Urgent: Flooding in Somalia

Hello jay -

21,000 people are now homeless, overnight.

Heavy rains have flooded the Shabelle River in Central Somalia and devastated communities. Houses, wells and latrines have all been swept away. And the situation is likely to get worse. Hundreds of thousands more are at risk.

If you can, make a donation to support our emergency relief efforts. We are seeking to raise $15,000 to distribute emergency supplies to families and assess the full extent of the damage.

People need emergency medical care, clean water and shelter. Unless help is delivered quickly—waterborne diseases will threaten families in the region.

Our teams will distribute critical relief items, such as mosquito nets, plastic sheeting, soap, water purification tablets, and jugs for water. The teams will also establish an emergency medical post and conduct a rapid humanitarian assessment.

Please, make a donation to provide lifesaving relief to flood survivors in Somalia.

Urgently,

-Daniel
