Nearly 40 people have died and over 12,000 displaced in Madagascar after Cyclone Gezani struck Toamasina, bringing 250 km/h winds and causing widespread destruction. The cyclone has left 18,000 homes destroyed and disrupted communications, prompting a national disaster declaration. As Gezani weakens, it is forecast to regain cyclone status and impact southern Mozambique, where authorities have issued warnings for severe weather. Both nations are vulnerable to such storms, with Mozambique already facing flooding this season.
