The National Risk and Disaster Management Office (BNGRC) reports that diarrhea, malaria, tropical fever and breathing system related sicknesses would be looming, more especially in the district of Soalala. The recovery of free access to clean drinking water remains a top issue to many villages as well. The National Risk and Disaster Management Office responded with a cleansing project for the local population’s wells. The districts of Soalala, Andranomavo and Ambohipaky would also be concerned by the food security related issue. The rise of water levels in rice fields could possibly lead to the loss of half of the standard rice harvests.
