Cyclone Hits Puntland Region of Somalia

While the international media have been inundated with stories of the cyclone in the Philippines, there has hardly been a mention of another one, albeit much less damaging, that hit the Puntland region of Somalia early in November.  An estimated 100,000 people have been affected and hundreds of people died.  African Development Solutions (Adeso) issued a press release on the situation on 21 November 2013.
