Tropical storm Ana hit east Africa this week, as heavy rains have caused flooding and mudslides in Madagascar’s capital Antananarivo, killing at least 39 people. Ana also made landfall on Mozambique and continued into Malawi, killing 12 people in its path, with reported windspeeds up to 100km per hour.
Madagascar’s disaster agency has reported that nearly 65,000 people have been left homeless in the wake of Storm Ana, with low-lying areas remaining on high alert.
