A government spokesman said settlements along Somalia's coast had been flooded by the rising waters.
"Coastal towns have been swept away by the waves and there is severe damage to property," Yusuf Ismail said.
Waves which swept 7,000km (4,000 miles) from the epicentre, also struck Kenya, Mauritius, Reunion and the Seychelles.

There was also damage in the Seychelles where a bridge linking the main airport and capital Victoria was destroyed while a village in northern Mauritius was submerged for almost three hours following the surges.
