Tragic Times

This ariel view shows the devastation left in the wake of this powerful category 3 cyclone that hit the West coast of Madagascar. Several cities, including Morondava and Manja, were affected as well as many other smaller villages. Twelve people died and 33 were injured. Over 14,000 were left homeless. The real tragedy is that relief efforts have been severely hampered by the riots and civil strife in Antananarivo and elsewhere in the country.
