There is a terrible fire burning in #Hargeisa #Somaliland. An appeal has gone out for water as the fire service is said to be running out.

Most of the fire has been controlled, so far several places are still burning. Hargeisa’s Waaheen Market is down.

Thousands lost their livelihoods in a matter of hours.

Shocked by the scenes of fire in #Hargeisa on the eve of Ramadan. I urge the international community to act urgently to prevent further damage to the city. 

Hoping and praying lives have not been lost.
