Fact Check Video: Somalia floods FALSELY shared as Cyclone Mocha in Myanmar

Following the devastation caused by Cyclone Mocha in Myanmar, a video of a man sitting what looks like a rickshaw, being carried away by floodwater gushing through the streets has gone viral. Allegedly, this video was from Myanmar and showed the cyclone’s effect. A Twitter user shared this video and wrote, “Cyclone Mocha makes landfall, brings catastrophe.” Reportedly, the death toll in Myanmar rose to 60 on May 16. Although, hundreds are feared dead. Mocha made landfall on May 14. India Today’s investigation found that the viral video has nothing to do with Cyclone Mocha. In fact, it’s not from Asia at all. It shows floods in Somalia.
