France rushes supplies to cyclone-devastated Mayotte
SHARE
France has increased its relief efforts for Mayotte, an overseas territory devastated by a cyclone. 120 tonnes of food are set to be distributed to a population facing hunger and disease.

The archipelago, considered France’s poorest overseas territory, implemented a curfew after reports of looting and lawlessness following Cyclone Chido’s impact over the weekend.

Residents in Mamoudzou are working to repair damaged roofs, while many flimsier homes in shantytowns were completely destroyed by the storm.

French officials estimate that hundreds or even thousands could have died in the cyclone, which was the strongest to hit Mayotte in 90 years. The storm also caused fatalities in Mozambique and Malawi.

Due to inaccessible areas, only 22 confirmed deaths have been recorded in hospitals, with officials acknowledging that the actual number could be higher.

The uncertainty surrounding Mayotte’s population size adds to the challenge, as undocumented immigration has increased over the years.

Health workers are preparing for potential disease outbreaks as clean water access remains a concern. The French government is sending supplies from Reunion Island to aid in relief efforts.

President Emmanuel Macron is scheduled to visit Mayotte, while opposition politicians criticize the government for neglecting the territory.

The ferry service between Mayotte’s main islands has resumed, allowing stranded individuals to reunite with their families.

As one landowner expressed, the aftermath of the cyclone has left many feeling disconnected and facing challenges reminiscent of a different era.
