STORYLINE
Madagascar continued to clean up after a weekend cyclone killed at least seven people and displaced another 50-thousand.
At least 50-thousand people suffered damage to their homes, crops or communities.
Cyclone Gafilo tore through northeast Madagascar early on Sunday at a speed of some 235 kilometres per hour (146 miles per hour).
The government of the island in the Indian Ocean called the cyclone the worst to hit the country in 20 years.
The worst affected areas were Antanar, Maroentsetra, Andapa, Mampikoni, and Majunga, already hit by Cyclone Elita last month, humanitarian workers said.
Many roads were cut off in the north of the country, roofs were blown off and buildings flooded.
On Tuesday, port authorities confirmed that a ferry with 100 people aboard was missing after it was caught in the weekend cyclone between Madagascar and the Comoros.
There were officially 72 passengers and 18 crew aboard, including both Comoros and Madagascar nationals.
But shipping officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said there may also have been clandestine passengers.
A fishing boat with nine people aboard was also reported missing at Mahajanga.
Bad weather hampered search efforts, which only got under way on Tuesday.
Prime Minister Jacques Sylla has called on the international community to come to the assistance of his nation.
The World Food Programme and other humanitarian agencies were assessing the situation in the north to see how best to move urgently needed food and other supplies.
Madagascar, the world's fourth largest island, is a former French colony which gained independence in 1960.
