Desitdown News (Monstrous’ Cyclone Gezani hits Madagascar, leaving at least 20 dead)#desitdown #news
Descrição
— At least 20 people have been confirmed dead after Cyclone
Gezani tore across parts of Madagascar, bringing destructive winds, torrential rain and widespread flooding that authorities have described as “monstrous” in scale. The powerful storm made landfall along the island’s eastern coast before moving inland, flattening homes, uprooting trees and cutting off entire communities.
Local officials reported that many of the deaths were caused by collapsing buildings, flash floods and landslides
triggered by days of heavy rainfall. Emergency services continue to search for missing residents, and the death toll is expected to rise as rescue teams reach remote areas.
Thousands of people have been displaced, with families taking shelter in schools, churches and temporary evacuation centres set up by regional authorities. Aid agencies warned that overcrowding and limited access to clean water could increase the risk of disease outbreaks in
the coming days. Roads and bridges in several districts were severely damaged, complicating relief efforts. Power outages and disrupted communications have also slowed coordination between emergency
responders. Government officials said the military and disaster response teams have been deployed to deliver food, drinking water and medical supplies to the worst-affected communities.
Meteorologists reported that Cyclone Gezani intensified rapidly over warm waters in the Indian Ocean before striking Madagascar, bringing winds strong enough to tear roofs from buildings and destroy crops. Farmers in affected regions fear significant losses, raising concerns about
food security in areas already struggling with poverty and climate-related shocks. President and senior government officials expressed condolences to the victims’ families and pledged support for reconstruction. Authorities urged residents in vulnerable regions to remain alert, warning that heavy rains and flooding could persist even after the cyclone weakens.
Madagascar is frequently hit by tropical storms during the cyclone season, but residents and officials alike described Gezani as one of the most destructive in recent years, leaving a trail of devastation that will take months to rebuild.
