2018 East Africa floods
Floods in 7 east African countries in 2018 / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2018 East Africa Floods were a natural disaster in Kenya, Ethiopia, Uganda, Rwanda, Somalia, Djibouti, and Burundi affecting millions of people. They began when excessive rains began falling in March 2018 following a year of severe drought, leading to massive flooding, landslides, and the failure and overflow of several dams.[1][2] Record rainfall was recorded in several areas, surpassing various records set during the 1950s and during the 1997–98 El Niño event.[3] Nearly 500 people have lost their lives while hundreds of thousands of others have been displaced.[4]
