Several districts of Madagascar were severely damaged by a huge flood, which also tragically resulted in large human casualties. The passage of a tropical disturbance and the hurricane season at the beginning of the year were the main causes of the excessive rains. As of January 22, 2022, the flood will have left 6,800 homes underwater, 30,000 people displaced, and 34 people dead, according to the UN's Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs. Due to the landlocked nature of some settlements, it is extremely difficult for many families to make it through each day. Furthermore, the approach of tropical cyclone Batsirai may fuel worries of a big catastrophe. According to the World Food Program, 600,000 people, including 150, could be directly impacted.
