Tropical Storm “Titi” weakened, affecting about 180,000 people.
Turkish Anadolu News Agency reported that the power gradually weakened after Tropical Storm Gati landed in Somalia, a country in the Horn of Africa, causing huge damage.
In northern Somalia, roads and houses are still flooded, and heavy rains damaged infrastructure and caused huge damage. So far, at least eight people have died and hundreds of thousands of people have been displaced.
According to a report released on November 25th, United Nations local time, according to data from Bountland, “Titi” has affected about 180,000 people, including fishermen, herdsmen, farmers and other vulnerable groups.
Because of the destruction of a large amount of infrastructure and the impassable road, the agencies providing humanitarian assistance also face challenges.
Dr. John Recha, a climate change, agriculture and food security scientist in Nairobi, the capital of Kenya, said that the main cause of the tropical storm in Somalia is climate change.
