Comments:
A seasonal river that cuts through Mandera town in North Eastern Province burst its banks on 13 October 2008, for the first time since 2000. This was followed by heavy rains that lasted over a week causing River Daua to burst its banks. Floods in the entire town and adjacent residential areas have left at least 920 households displaced in Mandera town alone.
