Much of the East African region is experiencing episodes of heavy rainfall and deadly flooding.

The World Food Programme said the severe floods in East Africa are threatening to escalate food insecurity and worsen the hunger crisis.

Ethiopia, Kenya, and Somalia have experienced raging floods that have been made worse by the El Niño phenomenon. 130 people have died across the three countries. 

Hundreds have died across the region and millions have been displaced since the rains began in late October.
