15 | Paula's blog post says, “As of now the flood waters are apparently receding but all the camps in Samburu and Shaba have been evacuated.” | Misy teny ao amin'ny bolongan'i Paula , “fa efa mihena ankehitriny ny haavon'ny rano saingy efa nilaozana avokoa ny toby any Samburu sy any Shaba.” |
16 | This is in anticipation of more rain that is likely to come. | Izany dia ho fitsinjovana ny orana toa mbola hirotsaka. |
