Call for cyclone aid

THE UN and humanitarian partners are appealing for $20 million (R248m) to address devastation caused by Cyclone Enawo in Madagascar.

Enawo struck the coast of Madagascar as a Category 4 cyclone on March 7, causing extensive damage.

At least a quarter of a million people require urgent life- saving humanitarian assistance.

In addition to providing water, sanitation and hygiene assistance for 168 000 people, the $20m will fund food assistance for 170 000 people, and support 230 000 farmers. – ANA
