Clean-up ongoing in Mayotte after Cyclone Chido devastates French overseas territory
Chido brought winds in excess of 220kph when it made landfall on Saturday, according to the French weather service, ripping roofs off houses in the archipelago which has a population of just over 300,000.
Cyclone Garance has wreaked havoc on France’s Reunion Island, leaving four dead and dozens missing. With wind speeds reaching up to 230 km/h (143 mph), the storm uprooted trees, flooded streets, and caused widespread destruction. Over 160,000 households are without electricity, and 310,000 are facing water shortages. Emergency teams, including firefighters and civil aid workers, have been deployed from mainland France and Mayotte. Authorities warn residents to remain cautious as cleanup efforts begin. The island’s international airport is set to reopen soon as the region recovers from the devastation.
