In its March 1977 issue, International Review described the emergency relief action carried out by the ICRC in Madagascar and the Comoros to help Comorian citizens who had been resident in Madagascar and who wished to get back or had just gone back to their homeland. At the end of January, ICRC aid in Madagascar was no longer needed, but in the Comoros, the medical delegate and nurse dispatched by the ICRC continued providing assistance during the whole of February.
