Cyclone Gezani Devastates Madagascar, President Declares National Disaster
Descrição
In Madagascar, Cyclone Gezani claimed the lives of at least 36 people, injured more than 370 and destroyed almost 18000 homes in the 24-hours of the cyclone battering Madagascar.
Madagascar's president has declared a national disaster and has called on international leaders to help the largely poor Indian Ocean island.
Just last month, Madagascar launched its first ever humanitarian hub , funded by the European Union (EU) and the World Food Programme - WFP, to strengthen emergency preparedness and response to crises for the cyclone-prone eastern and southern coasts.
