Africa Live: Deadly cyclone hits northern Madagascar - BBC News | |
(32 minutes later) | |
A cyclone that hit northern Madagascar on Wednesday has left | |
at least six people dead and forced 2,000 out of their homes. | |
Local news reports say that “flooding caused significant | |
damage” with roads and bridges affected. | |
The AFP news agency, citing the disaster management | |
authority (BNGRC), puts the death toll from cyclone Gamane at 11. | |
It reports that six of the victims drowned, while the others | |
died after being hit by falling trees or collapsing houses. | |
"It's rare to | |
have a cyclone like this. Its movement is nearly stationary," Gen Elack | |
Andriakaja, BNGRC director-general is quoted by AFP as saying. | |
"When the system stops in one place, it devastates all | |
the infrastructure. And that has serious consequences for the population. And | |
significant flooding.” | |
