Hundreds or thousands feared dead in Mayotte following cyclone

HUNDREDS or thousands of people are feared dead after Cyclone Chido devastated the French Indian Ocean territory of Mayotte, authorities warned today.

The cyclone, thought to be the worst to hit the region in nearly a century, levelled entire neighbourhoods of metal shacks and other flimsy structures on Saturday.

Damage to roads and the main airport hampered aid efforts and residents were left without food or water following the disaster.
