Flood in Madagascar
Several weeks of heavy rainfall have resulted in widespread flooding in Madagascar.
It is believed that 14 people have died, almost 10,000 have been left homeless and over 80,000 are affected by the disaster.
Many of those killed fell victim to landslides and damage to buildings caused by the heavy rain and wind.
The excessive rainfall is the result of two storms which have affected Madagascar over the past few weeks. First was Tropical Cyclone Bansi on 09 January. Then Tropical Cyclone Chedza struck the south-western part of the island on 16 and 17 January. Among the locations affected by the flooding are Antananarivo (the capital city), Manakara and Vangaindrano.
