Madagascar's national disaster management agency said on February 9 local time that the country was recently hit by a strong tropical cyclone "Bazire", and the death toll has risen to 92. The collapse of houses and the flooding caused by the strong tropical cyclone have caused a large number of casualties. As the statistical work unfolds, the death toll is likely to continue to rise.
According to reports, "Bazire" "transited" Madagascar from east to west from 5 to 6, and everywhere it went, there were strong winds and torrential rains, causing a large number of damage to houses and roads in many coastal cities in the east of the country, and some towns and the outside world were interrupted by land traffic.
Madagascar is located in the western Indian Ocean and is a tropical storm-prone area, with the country's hurricane season from December to March. Madagascar, Mozambique and Malawi were recently hit by Tropical Cyclone Anna.
