Cyclone Gezani has struck Mozambique’s Inhambane province, killing at least four people and cutting power to over 13,000 residents, while also disrupting water supplies in the city of 100,000.

The storm hit a day after devastating Madagascar, where it killed at least 41 people, injured hundreds, and displaced more than 16,000, leaving $142 million in damages.

In Madagascar, the cyclone’s eye passed over Toamasina, the country’s second-largest city, destroying roughly 75–80% of buildings and leaving most of the city without electricity or water.

Officials and aid groups, including the World Food Programme, described the destruction as overwhelming, with critical infrastructure and warehouses also damaged, Al-Jazeera has reported.

Both countries are still recovering from prior disasters, and scientists warn that climate change is worsening the frequency and intensity of such extreme weather events.
