Cyclone Chido, a powerful storm, recently slammed into Mayotte, a French island, causing catastrophic damage and a significant loss of life.
The immense power of the cyclone flattened homes, especially those in poorer areas, leaving many residents without food, water, or shelter.
Rescue teams face serious challenges reaching isolated communities due to blocked roads and damaged infrastructure, hampering relief efforts.
The official death toll is expected to climb substantially as the full extent of the destruction becomes clear, highlighting the vulnerability of the island's population.
