Tropical storm leaves 30 dead, 20 missing in Madagascar
The storm made landfall in the northeast of the island last Thursday and impacted close to 89,000 people, Madagascar’s National Office for Risk and Disaster Management said.
Colonel Faly Aritiana, of the risk and disaster office, said there had been house collapses and landslides in which people have become trapped. The storm has damaged infrastructure, with many roads cut by rising waters, landslides and collapsed bridges. “Prices of vegetables and rice increased a lot after the storm” with the cost of tomatoes quadrupling, said Veronique Mamitiana, a teacher in the city of Mahajanga. “The merchants say it’s because the national road is cut,” she said.
