Mayotte, a French territory in the Indian Ocean, faced another natural disaster as Tropical Storm Dikeledi struck just weeks after Cyclone Chido wreaked havoc on the islands. Dikeledi brought heavy rains and strong winds, prompting Mayotte to issue a red alert, urging residents to seek shelter and store essential supplies.
Cyclone Chido, which hit Mayotte on December 14, resulted in at least 39 fatalities, with over 200 individuals still missing and more than 5,000 injured. The recent storm, Dikeledi, caused three deaths in Madagascar before weakening to a tropical storm as it approached Mayotte.
