According to a spokesman for the UN, hot meals and cash were provided to some families in Madagascar, and aerial evaluations of the cyclone Batsirai damage were conducted.

According to Stephane Dujarric, the top spokesperson for UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, the World Food Programme (WFP) provided 10,000 hot meals in cyclone shelters in Manakara to boost the government's response. "In addition, the agency has begun distributing pre-prepared meals to displaced persons," Dujarric said. "They're also delivering food to Mananjary," says the narrator. Cash distributions for nearly 1,400 households are still continuing on elsewhere."

He said the WFP provides rapid assessment, which includes an aerial inspection by the UN Humanitarian Air Service, which also flies an air bridge between Antananarivo and the storm-affected districts. According to the spokesman, the organisation offers roads to its partners and has people on the ground to analyse the humanitarian community's information technology needs.

According to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, the tropical cyclone last weekend killed at least 92 people and displaced almost 61,500 more people in Madagascar.
