French Prime Minister François Bayrou says the rumors of thousands of deaths are unfounded
00:06
when speaking of the victims left by cyclone Chido after its devastating passage over France's
00:13
overseas territory of Mayotte. He also promised to rebuild the island in two years as he arrived
00:20
on Monday.
00:22
What is striking for all those we meet is that the rumors of thousands of deaths are
00:31
not founded, while a few dozen or a few hundred are in those areas. What do the land observers
00:45
tell us? We find ourselves.
00:47
In mid-December, the prefect of Mayotte estimated the cyclone had likely caused hundreds, maybe
00:52
even a few thousand deaths. However, the latest official death toll is 39.
