The death toll from Cyclone Chido is several hundred and maybe close to a thousand, the
00:06
island's top government official has told local media. It was the worst cyclone to hit
00:11
the French overseas territory in the Indian Ocean for 90 years. Chido brought winds in
00:17
excess of 220 kilometers an hour. In some parts, entire neighborhoods of metal shacks
00:23
and huts were flattened, while residents reported many trees had been uprooted, boats flipped
00:28
or sunk, and the electricity supplying knocked out. Rescuers and firefighters were sent from
00:34
France and the nearby French territory of Réunion, and supplies were also rushed in
00:40
on military aircrafts and ships. The French Interior Ministry said 1,600 police officers
00:46
have been deployed to help the population and prevent potential looting. Mayotte is
00:52
France's poorest department and has previously struggled with drought and a lack of investment.
