Mayotte, identified as France's poorest overseas territory, faced catastrophic impacts as Cyclone Chido struck, with reports confirming at least 14 fatalities and concerns for more.
According to French Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau, authorities anticipate an increase in the death toll, stressing the severity of the cyclone's impact on the vulnerable island.
The cyclone’s aftermath highlights the precarious living conditions, as many residents inhabit unstable structures, making them particularly susceptible to natural disasters.
As Cyclone Chido moves toward Mozambique's coast, the full extent of the disaster and its repercussions for Mayotte remain a major concern for local and national authorities.
