Cyclone Chido has also caused extensive damage in nearby islands Comoros and Madagascar, as well as Mozambique.
At least 11 people have died after a cyclone hit the French territory of Mayotte in the Indian Ocean - as officials said the number of those killed 'will be high'. Cyclone Chido caused extensive damage on Saturday, with nearby islands of Comoros and Madagascar also affected as it blew through the southeastern Indian Ocean. Forecaster Meteo-France said it was the strongest storm in more than 90 years to hit the islands.
Cyclone Chido has now made landfall in Mozambique on the African mainland, where the United Nations Children's Fund said Cabo Delgado province, home to around two million people, had been hit hard. 'Many homes, schools and health facilities have been partially or completely destroyed and we are working closely with government to ensure continuity of essential basic services,' the organisation said. 'While we are doing everything we can, additional support is urgently needed.
