Cyclone Chido Devastates French Island -Hundreds Feared Dead
Hundreds Feared Dead as Cyclone Chido Devastates French Island of Mayotte
Cyclone Chido leaves a trail of devastation on island of Mayotte
DW News 16 DEC 2024
Witnesses tell of apocalyptic scenes after worst storm to hit the Indian Ocean territory in almost a century
Prefect Fran?ois-Xavier Bieuville told the Mayotte la 1?re radio station that no official death toll is available, one day after the storm struck the islands.
However, he said: "I think there are certainly several hundred," and added that it was possible that the death toll could reach the thousands.
More than 250 were injured in the storm, which also hit Madagascar and Mozambique.
Acting Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau said on Saturday evening that the situation in the territory was catastrophic. He is expected to visit the devastated archipelago on Monday.
Poorly built houses had been destroyed, he said. The archipelago has a population of around 310,000.
Ambdilwahedou Soumaila, mayor of the capital Mamoudzou, told BFMTV that many people had been injured and that the damage was severe. Roads were blocked, some areas were cut off and many residents were without power, he said.
