Communities from Mayotte and the Comoros living in France are rallying to send aid to the Indian Ocean archipelago devastated by Cyclone Chido. Donations are pouring in from cities such as Marseille, home to France’s largest Comorian community, and nearby Toulon.
One month ago, Cyclone Chido wreaked havoc on the French overseas territory of Mayotte, with 39 people confirmed dead and more than 5,000 injured in the most devastating cyclone to hit the island in 90 years.
