In the aftermath of Cyclone Chido, parts of Mayotte remain isolated as aid efforts are slow to arrive. On December 18, reports from France Télévisions highlight the devastation in Vahibé, where homes are mostly destroyed and basic necessities like electricity and clean water are unavailable. Residents rely on a nearby river for washing and have received no aid, feeling abandoned in their time of need. The situation raises concerns about the number of casualties amidst a growing sense of neglect.
