Reuters AlertNet - MADAGASCAR: Successive cyclones bring Madagascar to its knees
I cannot believe the cyclone season that Madagascar is sustaining this year. The human suffering is surely extensive. I haven't yet seen any estimates for tolls on the forests or fauna. I imagine it will be equally dreadful.
From the article:
"Tropical cyclone Jaya made landfall on Madagascar's northeastern coast today on a projected trajectory that will see it rage through areas already devastated by cyclone Indlala just over two weeks ago.
"This is the worst cyclone season in the recorded history of the country," Dusan Zupka, the Senior Emergency Coordination Officer assigned to Madagascar by the United Nations (UN) Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs OCHA) in Geneva, told IRIN.
I suppose that the US will give something on the order of $1.50 and a shipment of used blankets. How sad.
