In February, WFP reached 444,022 people in Madagascar with food and nutrition assistance, distributing 4,497 mt of food and USD 1.1 million through cash-based transfers. Due to funding constraints, WFP’s lean season response faced a pipeline break, forcing the suspension of general food distributions even as cyclone impacts compounded the crisis.
In February, Madagascar was struck by two successive cyclones — Fytia in the northwest and Gezani in the northeast, both reaching the capital — affecting over 681,000 people and causing widespread destruction.
