Mananjary, February 21 (RHC)-- At least 14 people were killed in Madagascar last week by tropical storm Dumako, the state disaster relief agency said, as the island braces for another cyclone due to hit tomorrow, Tuesday, the 22nd.

Some 4,323 were displaced when Dumako made landfall in the east of the country last Tuesday, the disaster relief agency said.  They were being housed in 12 sites.   The Indian Ocean island nation is going through its storm season.  A total of 124 people were killed this month when tropical cyclone Batsirai slammed the southeastern coast of the island.

Another cyclone, Emnati, is forecast to hit close to the same area affected by Batsirai, said Nomenjanahary Mamy Andriamirado, a weather forecaster with the national meteorological service.
