Cyclone Gezani hit Mozambique’s southern coastal province of Inhambane, killing at least four people. The storm struck a day after devastating Madagascar, where at least 41 died. The cyclone battered Inhambane with winds reaching 215 km/h (134 mph). Trees and power lines fell, cutting electricity to over 13,000 people. Many districts in Inhambane city, home to 100,000, lost water supply. Mozambique is still recovering from recent severe flooding that affected over 700,000 people and damaged more than 170,000 homes, says the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs. Madagascar declared a national emergency after the cyclone caused US$142 million in damages. In Madagascar, 427 people were injured and 16,300 displaced. The cyclone’s eye passed over Toamasina, the island’s second-largest city with 400,000 residents. Colonel Michael Randrianirina said about 75% of the city was destroyed. Tania Goosens, World Food Programme Madagascar director, described the destruction as “overwhelming.” She reported that 80% of Toamasina was damaged, electricity was at 5%, and water was unavailable. The WFP’s office and a warehouse in the city were completely destroyed.
