The recent passage of Cyclone Chido severely impacted the northern region of Grande Terre in Mayotte, notably damaging local schools. Marib Hanaffi, the mayor of Acoua, lamented the insufficient state investment in the community, which feels overlooked. Many families are still without electricity and accessing basic resources remains a challenge. Local leaders emphasize the urgent need for assistance as the aftermath of the cyclone intensifies existing issues of neglect and resource scarcity in Mayotte.
