"What is happening in southern Madagascar is heartbreaking, we cannot ignore these children whose lives are at stake," said Moumini Ouedraogo, WFP's Representative in Madagascar. calling for a "doubled effort" to raise the necessary funds.

Michel Saint-Lot, representative of "UNICEF" in Madagascar, stated the urgency to act in order to prevent a "more dangerous" situation.
