Rampant floods from heavy downpours in Ethiopia have impacted more than 560,000 individuals, according to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA). The OCHA, in its most recent update, reported that approximately 57,000 people were forced to evacuate due to floods triggered by torrential rains in various regions of the East African nation. These floods have caused extensive damage to homes, public infrastructure, and farmland, exacerbating difficulties for the impacted communities. The affected areas are already grappling with conflict, prolonged drought, a cholera outbreak, and inadequate road networks. The Somali Region has been hit hardest, with over 51,000 residents displaced.
