Officials say more than 55,000 have been people displaced and thousands of buildings destroyed

Alkis Konstantidinis and Christophe Van Der Perre

The cyclone killed 21 people and displaced more than 60,000 after it slammed into the Indian Ocean island late on Saturday, knocking down houses and electricity lines along the southeastern coastline until it moved away late on Sunday. President Andry Rajoelina flew to Mananjary, about 500km by road southeast of Antananarivo. Land routes to Mananjary were cut off due to flooding.

“We were in a bad situation, all the houses were destroyed. Water from the river and water from the sea rose, all the houses collapsed, we were really scared.” Locals stand among destroyed houses, in the aftermath of Cyclone Batsirai, in Mananjary, Madagascar, February 7 2022.
