Three people were reported dead in southeastern Madagascar on Sunday after cyclone Batsirai made landfall, leaving a trail of devastation including collapsed buildings, power cuts and flooding.
The damage from the storm system is compounding the destruction wreaked by another cyclone, Ana, which hit the island just two weeks ago, killing 55 people and displacing 130,000 people.
"We saw only desolation: uprooted trees, fallen electric poles, roofs torn off by the wind, the city completely under water," Nirina Rahaingosoa, a resident in the town of Fianarantsoa, 420 km south of the capital, told Reuters by phone. Willy Raharijaona, technical advisor to the vice president of Madagascar's Senate, said some parts of the region like the town of Nosy Varika in Madagascar's southeast had been cut off from the surrounding areas by flooding.
Another resident who gave only one name, Raharijaona, told Reuters even schools and churches that had been prepared to shelter the displaced around Mananjary town in the southeast had their roofs torn off.
