🗣Cyclone Chido Devastates Mayotte, Residents Describe ‘Nuclear War Aftermath’
Residents of Mayotte are facing catastrophic conditions after Cyclone Chido, the worst storm in 90 years, hit the French Indian Ocean territory. Wind speeds of 225 km/h (140 mph) flattened entire neighborhoods, leaving 14 confirmed dead and fears that the toll could reach thousands.
Massive destruction has left many without water, food, or shelter. Rescue operations are hindered by damaged infrastructure, and aid workers fear the impact on undocumented migrants living in makeshift homes.
French officials are coordinating relief efforts, but residents describe the aftermath as feeling like a “nuclear war zone.”
