Emergency workers raced on Monday to find survivors and restore services to the French overseas territory of Mayotte , where hundreds or even thousands are feared dead from the worst cyclone to hit the Indian Ocean islands in nearly a century.Parts of the islands, which were struck by Cyclone Chido over the weekend with winds of more than 200 kph , remained inaccessible to rescue workers on Monday, said French civil security spokesperson Alexandre Jouassard.
The full extent of casualties and damage in Mayotte, which lies between Mozambique and Madagascar, remained unclear.The prefect of Mayotte, Francois-Xavier Bieuville, said at the weekend that deaths would definitely be in the hundreds and possible several thousand.Establishing the toll was made harder as some people quickly buried loved ones in accordance with Muslim tradition.
