A CYCLONE has killed three people in Madagascar weeks after 80 others
died when an earlier storm hit the Indian Ocean island, officials said
today.

Prime Minister Charles Rabemananjara said Cyclone Jaya struck northern
Madagascar on Wednesday, flattening homes and destroying plantations,
and he launched a one-month fund raising drive to help the victims.

"Half Sambava town was devastated," said one local official.

Last week, Madagascar appealed for $242 million to help tens of
thousands of residents uprooted by Cyclone Indlala, which killed 80
people when it hit on March 15.
