Additional Information / Shotlist Maman’i Frizela - Ambodiriana resident
I am personally very scared because the weather is very bad and there is no time to go out to look for the children’s food.
In this area, it has been raining often and the weather is getting worse and worse. Because of this I am worried and concerned because when the weather is that bad, it is hard to get out and look for food for the children.

Cyclone Freddy is about to hit the east of Madagascar.
It's expected to make landfall today Feb 21 2023, causing unknown devastation.
The already vulnerable population has just rebuilt from the last deadly tropical cyclones Batsirai and Emnati.
They fear their houses and crops will be destroyed again.

I am from here and I spent my childhood here. I don’t remember if the cyclones were strong or not as I was a child. But during my adult years, I can say that cyclones have become stronger and stronger over the recent years.
 TXT
MSF teams on the ground are preparing for the cyclone
and are making sure MSF structures are secured.
The previous months, MSF has been responding to alarming malnutrition levels in areas where people lost their harvest, food stocks and source of income after last years’ cyclones.
Madagascar remains one of the countries at most risk from climate change and extreme weather events.
