ANTANANARIVO, Madagascar: Cyclone Gezani killed at least 36 people, injured more than 370 and destroyed almost 18,000 homes across Madagascar, authorities said Thursday. Madagascar’s president has declared a national disaster and made a plea for international leaders to help the largely poor Indian Ocean island. The tropical cyclone made landfall late Tuesday and caused widespread destruction in the main port city of Toamasina on the east coast before tearing across the country.

Gezani has hit just 11 days after Cyclone Fytia killed 12 people and displaced 31,000 in northwestern Madagascar.
