It was gathered that in the early hours of Saturday, fire outbreak occurred in Waaheen Market, Hargeisa, Somaliland, destroying over 2,000 plus stores and goods.
According to the Somaliland fight service, the fire service trucks aren’t enough and money to help rebuild Hargeisa market isn’t enough also. Hence, the reason for the GoFundMe donations.
Over 56 people have donated so far. Somaliland Fire Service’s information reads:
