As cholera fears grow in Mayotte, France observes national mourning
French troops and firefighters are working tirelessly in Mayotte, devastated by Cyclone Chido, the worst storm to hit the region in 90 years.
Hospitals remain overwhelmed, with doctors treating injuries on the streets amidst fears of cholera outbreaks due to the lack of clean water and power.
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.
