    Hundreds Feared Dead As Cyclone Chido Devastates Mayotte

    Hundreds Feared Dead As Cyclone Chido Devastates Mayotte

    A scene of devastation after the cyclone Chido hit France’s Indian Ocean territory of Mayotte, on December 14, 2024 in the Bandrajou Kaweni district of the capital Mamoudzou. At least several hundred people are feared to have been killed after the worst cyclone in almost a century ripped through the French Indian Ocean territory of Mayotte on Saturday, uprooting trees, tearing houses apart and pounding the impoverished archipelago’s already weak infrastructure. Rescuers have been dispatched to the islands, which lie between the coast of Mozambique and Madagascar, but their efforts are likely to be hindered by damage to airports and electricity distribution in an area where clean drinking water is subject to chronic shortages.
