The cyclone’s impact has left 17% of healthcare workers unaccounted for, with hospital conditions severely compromised. A civil security field hospital is being deployed, while 170 additional healthcare professionals are arriving to support those already exhausted. Reports indicate at least 31 fatalities and dire living conditions for residents in informal settlements.
