THE French warship Jeanne d’Arc has been rerouted from Mozambique to Madagascar to bring aid to hundreds of thousands of cyclone victims and is expected there within the next few days. The helicopter-carrier left flood-stricken Mozambique late on Wednesday for the Indian Ocean island, 800 kilometres across the Mozambique Channel. The vessel had been in Madagascar until last Friday, helping relief efforts following the passage of cyclone Eline. But the situation on Madagascar worsened last week when a second cyclone, Gloria, hit the island, killing at least 66 people and leaving thousands more homeless.
