The aftermath of Cyclone Gezani has left a trail of destruction throughout Madagascar, particularly in the central region, where the cyclone made landfall near Tamatave. Bishop Rosario Vella of Moramanga reported that over 75 percent of houses were severely damaged, particularly in poorer neighborhoods where homes tend to be constructed from less resilient materials such as wood and straw. The destruction of infrastructure has not only displaced many families but also severely impacted local churches, with reports of complete roof collapses in several places.

This cyclone is part of a yearly pattern for Madagascar, where cyclones frequently strike, but Gezani's impact has been particularly devastating. The Christian community is actively responding to the crisis, with all dioceses mobilizing efforts to provide aid and assistance to those in need. The bishop’s remarks emphasize the urgent need for support as the local population grapples with the effects of the cyclone, which represents a significant humanitarian challenge amidst the broader context of natural disasters in the region.

As the storm was fueled by high wind speeds and heavy rainfall, the government's and churches' rapid response efforts will be crucial in helping communities rebuild and recover from this disaster. The situation highlights the vulnerability of many communities in Madagascar, particularly those living in substandard housing conditions, and emphasizes the need for both immediate assistance and long-term solutions to mitigate future cyclone impacts.
