GAROWE, Somalia -- Amid rescue operations, 360 people are reportedly feared dead and the number could reach 400 in Somalias northeastern region of Puntland, Garowe Online reports.

Puntland Marine Police Forces (PMPF) have been attempting to transport an emergency supplies, consisting of non-perishable food items, tents, medicines and blankets but worst-hit areas became inaccessible after flash floods collapsed an important bridge connecting the capital Garowe to the port city of Bossaso.

Puntland Disaster Management and Rescue committee says, flooding is still ongoing as rains have heavily inundated the remote rural areas and the coastal towns at higher level than expected. Rescue teams deployed by the government are also trying to reach the faraway vicinities by donkey carts.

#3 Isn't Cyclone the 'west of the date line' name for Tornado? Much like Typhoon is the name for Hurricane?
