Cyclone Chido Causes Devastation in Mayotte and Southern Africa

Cyclone Chido has wreaked havoc across the Indian Ocean, particularly impacting the French territory of Mayotte, where widespread devastation has left hundreds feared dead and many more displaced. President Emmanuel Macron visited the cyclone-hit island, facing a frustrated crowd expressing their anger over the perceived inadequate response to the disaster. Macron urged residents to recognize the benefits of being French during this crisis, in a heated exchange that drew notable attention. Meanwhile, the cyclone has also affected Mozambique and Malawi, with death tolls rising and thousands of children impacted. As international aid arrives, survivors in Mayotte are struggling to navigate the aftermath of what some are calling the worst cyclone in 90 years, with critical concerns about hunger and disease looming in the wake of such destruction.
