[September Free Report] Extreme weather in Madagascar

Extreme weather in Madagascar : Drought “Climate change is the single most vital challenge facing development in Africa today,” said Kevin Orama, Acting Chief Economist and Vice President of the Bank. The south of Madagascar, also known as the Grand Sud, is facing a severe drought. In this article, I'm going to tell you about the extreme weather conditions in the south of my country where 90% of the population lives below the poverty line. Drought. Source : https://www.thevalleypost.com/africa-disproportionately-affected-afdb/ 70% - This is the rate of people who do not have access to basic drinking water in the South of Madagascar due to drought according to the website WaterAid. And I am grateful to the government because they are doing their best but let's not forget that the problem of water is a very serious problem. Indeed, there are children who drink mud in the south of Madagascar because they are so thirsty. Droughts, defined as a deficit of water over a relatively long period of time, are among the climatic extremes with high societal stakes. Indeed, as in the case of Madagascar, there are tens of thousands of people in near starvation conditions. There are several types of drought. First, there is the meteorological drought corresponding to a prolonged deficit of precipitation; then, the agricultural drought is characterized by a deficit of water in superficial soils (between 1 and 2 m deep) and finally the hydrological drought is manifested when the lakes, rivers or groundwater show abnormally low levels. The Zazany Madagascar association already contribute to help these vulnerable families in their fight against food insecurity. To do so, they launched some time ago the OPERATION FIGHT AGAINST THE KERE "famine" in the South of Madagascar. I believe that everyone deserves to have clean water, because having water is not a privilege, it is a basic need. So in front of this situation, do not waste your food because there are children somewhere who do not eat tonight. Thank you for reading my article and take good care of yourself and your family. Children in the southern Madagascar smiling to you! Source : https://www.helloasso.com/associations/association-zazany-madagascar/formulaires/1

Hello, this is your mentor Minkyung.

I am so devastated to hear about the drought in Madagascar. It surprises me how some countries experienced severe drought whereas some suffered from heavy downpours at the same time. If you could explain more about the measures that the country has implemented, it would be wonderful.

I'll be looking forward to your October report, so keep up the work :)

I am sorry to hear about the severe drought in Madagascar. It is extremely upsetting to hear that 70% of people do not even have access to basic drinking water.

Excellent job on writing the free report.
