Several hundred feared dead after Mayotte cyclone

0 Comments

Hundreds, and possibly thousands, of people are feared dead in Mayotte after the French Indian Ocean territory was devastated by a powerful cyclone.

Rescue workers are still attempting to reach some communities as they search for survivors.

Entire settlements were flattened when Cyclone Chido brought wind speeds of more than 225km/h (140mph), with the poorest living in makeshift shelters particularly hard hit.

Some of Mayotte’s population of 320,000 have said they are struggling with severe shortages of food, water and shelter.
