“My home was devastated by the cyclone’s powerful winds, so I had to leave.
I fled when the house began to sway.
My home was completely demolished, “said Bonne Fehy, a flood victim.
“We had stacked all of our belongings high, yet they still got soaked.
Due to my disability, several young people took me, which is how I got away.
They tricycled me about, “Perline Razanamalala, a different flood survivor, said.
The National Office of Risk and Disaster Management has also noted multiple landslides in addition to the flooding.
