UNICEF An appeal for aid as Madagascar struggles to
It's been almost 4 weeks since cyclone Ivan hit Madagascar, killing 93 people and leaving 350,000 without a home.
Ivan was the country’s most devastating cyclone since 1980. Raging flood waters have deprived farmers of their
fields, turned schools into temporary shelters and made roads disappear.
SOUNDBITE (Malagasy) Ralison Fleur, President of the Tanambe Parents Association: "The cyclone has destroyed
everything, the heavy rain caused damaged to the dam. So many permanent buildings have been destroyed,
including the only school in the village. The same for the main road. Even for me, I was not able to save anything!
Fortunately the water stopped during the day, if this would have happened during the night even more people would
have been dead by now."
UNICEF's multiple ground teams have been working with partners, providing essential water sanitation and hygiene
kits, basic supplies like blankets and bed-nets to combat the spread of infectious diseases and moral support to
affected families.
