Donations have poured in from thousands of "World News Tonight" viewers in the wake of our report on Southern Madagascar, a country on the verge of the world's first climate change-induced near-famine in modern history. Since our report aired Monday, the World Food Programme said they received support from more than 22,000 donors, raising $2.7 million, which will go towards helping the people of southern Madagascar.
