A devastating cyclone recently struck Mayotte, a French island in the Indian Ocean, causing widespread destruction and leaving hundreds feared dead.
The powerful cyclone, named Chido, brought incredibly strong winds and torrential rain, flattening entire settlements and leaving many without basic necessities.
Rescue efforts are underway, but access to some hard-hit communities remains challenging due to the extent of the damage.
The final death toll is expected to be significantly higher as rescue workers continue their search and access damaged areas.
