June 10 (Xinhua) -- More than 30，000 displaced people are in need of humanitarian assistance after flooding in Somalia's south-central region of Beletweyne， the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has said.


Albert Jabre， the region's field coordinator for ICRC Somalia， on Friday said the displaced people were in need of food and safe drinking water.


"This flooding is the worst in years. It covered most of the town and surroundings. As the people move to higher grounds， they are in need of everything，"Jabre said in a statement.


"The ICRC is providing food and other basic items， clean water and health care to the most affected communities. This will enable them to hold on as they start to rebuild their homes，" he added.


The ICRC and Somali Red Cross Society this week carried out a five-day distribution of rice， oil， beans， blankets and mosquito nets for the displaced people.


About 100，000 water purification tablets were distributed， with each family receiving 20 tablets， enough to be used for one month. One tablet can purify 20 litres of drinking water.


Beletweyne hosts about 31，000 displaced people， most of whom have fled conflict in the neighboring districts of Jalalqsi and Bulle Burte.


Local residents who lived in low-lying areas have moved to higher ground in El Jaale， 5 km from Beletweyne， due to the flooding.


The flood is a result of heavy rains in the upper part of the Ethiopian highlands that have caused river Shabelle to overflow.


Shafi Ibrahim， a local elder， said the flood has destroyed crops and that many fields remain inaccessible.


"The flood has destroyed almost everything. The majority of the community here operates a small business in a local market. They could no longer work as the place is submerged with water. We do hope in a month's time it will dry up and we can start rebuilding our lives，" said Ibrahim.


There have been fears about the outbreak of diseases， such as diarrhea， cholera and typhoid， following the flooding.

And now Takkarist McKinley Jersey , the perennial question—can “matching” ever go too far? When you think about it, home décor is really similar to fashion. Both involve combining the functional (furniture, chair covers, carpeting, linens Austin Hooper Falcons Jersey , and lighting) with decorative (vases, collections, photos, paintings, and you-name-it) to compile a look that speaks to the personality and preferences of its creator. And Deion Jones Falcons Jersey , of course, both disciplines can be categorized as shallow and unnecessary, but we all know that they aren’t. Both require a certain understanding of Feng Shui and balance, particularly when it comes to color. Just as an all-black costume can go from “sophisticated fashionista” to “Twilight cosplayer” in about a second, a monochromatic room can go from “harmonious” to “boring” quite easily. Here are a few pros and cons of monochromatic home décor to use as guidelines.

Pro: Nothing Looks Out of Place.
Keep in mind that monochrome doesn’t necessarily need to consist of one shade of the same color. If Vic Beasley Jr Falcons Jersey , for example, you were going for a beach-inspired set of neutrals, you can use quite the range of colors. Picture cream tablecloths matched to shell-toned table linen napkins—there’s a slight visual contrast, but not enough to clash. You could even accessorize with decorative corals and seashells. Your wooden furniture would consist of pale wood—possibly bamboo—and you could accessorize with raffia or wicker baskets on your end tables. When you go monochrome, you’ll always know whether an item will fit in your general scheme before you purchase it.

Con: Agh! Even the table linen runners are pink!
One big problem with monochromatic home décor is that it only works with so many colors. Neutrals work better because they’re . . . well Devonta Freeman Falcons Jersey , neutral. But even these can be problematic—can you imagine walking into a home with gray walls, gray furniture, and gray couch and chair covers? It wouldn’t necessary inspire the gag reflex, but without adding a single pop of color, it would seem almost alarming in its gray-ness. Of course Julio Jones Falcons Jersey , brighter colors are even worse. Unless it’s Valentine’s Day, there is absolutely no good reason to invest in pink carpeting, pink linen and pink furniture. Sure, you can strew pink elements throughout your home, but having such a visually arresting color everywhere can be nauseating.

Pro: It makes picking out new items really Austin Hooper Black Jersey , really easy.
Obviously, this doesn’t apply to sentimental items like photographs and family heirlooms. If you have a collection of Victorian slag glass, by all means display it, no matter how gross it looks against your orange walls. But if you’re looking for new furniture, table linen Deion Jones Black Jersey , or any other item, you’ll know immediately whether it matches your home or not. Monochrome may limit your selection somewhat, but when it comes to the endless choices internet shopping offers, that’s not always a bad thing.

Con: You can’t buy that thing you like because it doesn’t “go.”
This seems hypocritical since the previous section discussed how easy shopping is, but this isn’t always the case. We all have that moment when we spy something we love Vic Beasley Jr Black Jersey , then realize we have absolutely no use for it. When you go monochrome, that feeling is amplified. That amazing, silky, emerald green linen table runner? It would look hideous in your pale blue kitchen. That Tiffany vase? Too many colors for an all-white room. Which brings me to my final point—if home décor is like fashion, then Devonta Freeman Black Jersey , as the esteemed Clinton Kelly has noted in the past, you should focus less on whether items “match” and more on whether they “go.” B.
