Emmanuel Macron Visits Mayotte Post-Cyclone Chido to Assess Damage and Coordinate Relief Efforts
French President Emmanuel Macron has traveled to Mayotte to evaluate the destruction caused by Cyclone Chido, which has been described as one of the worst natural disasters in recent French history. Accompanied by healthcare personnel and supplies, he plans to meet with victims, officials, and healthcare staff. While 31 deaths have been confirmed, local officials fear that the toll could be much higher, with hundreds potentially dead. The situation is exacerbated by Mayotte’s undocumented population and the ongoing need for emergency relief.
