A video shared widely this week claims to show flooding in a Somali town. Our fact-check desk found it was first published years ago and filmed elsewhere.

How we checked

Reverse image searches of key frames led to an earlier upload with the same footage. Landmarks do not match the town named in the posts.

Verdict: False
