Region Exposed to ‘So Many Climate Havocs’
Across the Madagascar Channel, things aren’t much better. The death toll in Mozambique stood at at least 21 on Monday, with at least 207 injuries; more than 7,300 homes were totally destroyed by Ana. In Malawi, where 10 people have died and 107 have been injured, the government declared a state of emergency as a result of the storm.
“This country, Mozambique, is really exposed so, so much to climate havocs that we absolutely need to do much, much, more for disaster risk reduction,” Myrtha Kaulard, UN Resident Coordinator in Mozambique, told the UN’s news agency.
