Cyclone Chido in Mozambique claims at least 120 lives
Reuters
It has been a a week since Cyclone Chido hit Mozambique and now country is struggling with rising death toll and widespread devastation.
The storm, which struck the country on December 15, has claimed at least 120 lives, a sharp increase from the initial estimate of 26. Additionally, nearly 900 people have been injured, with rescue and relief efforts still underway.
Cyclone Chido first made landfall on the French Indian Ocean archipelago of Mayotte on December 14, before moving toward mainland Africa. Mayotte, France’s poorest territory, experienced its most destructive cyclone in 90 years. The storm caused catastrophic damage to homes and infrastructure across the island.
In France, flags were flown at half-mast, and a minute’s silence was observed in tribute to the victims in Mayotte. The destruction has prompted widespread calls for increased support to the island as it begins a long recovery process.
Meanwhile, in Mozambique, communities remain submerged, and families are struggling to access basic necessities such as food, water, and medical supplies.
