Tropical Cyclone Gezani hits Madagascar and crushes houses; death toll at 31

Tropical Cyclone Gezani has struck Madagascar, causing significant destruction and resulting in at least 31 fatalities. The cyclone made landfall in a region already reeling from a previous devastating storm less than two weeks prior. Madagascar is particularly susceptible to cyclones due to its geographic location in the Indian Ocean, which often brings severe weather patterns. The latest cyclone has destroyed numerous homes and displaced thousands, prompting urgent humanitarian responses. As recovery efforts commence, the government and aid organizations are mobilizing resources to assist those affected by this catastrophic event. The frequent occurrence of such natural disasters highlights the ongoing challenges faced by Madagascar in disaster preparedness and climate resilience.
