This handout photograph taken and released by the French Securite Civile on December 17, 2024 shows destroyed housing and vegetation at an undisclosed location on the French Indian Ocean territory of Mayotte, in the wake of Cyclone Chido. It is feared that the toll from the devastating cyclone that ripped through the French overseas territory of Mayotte at the weekend will rise. Currently 21 people are confirmed to have been killed by Cyclone Chido when it barrelled into the archipelago, as authorities fear that hundreds, and possibly even thousands, will be confirmed dead once the true scale of the toll is revealed after the rubble is cleared and roads are unblocked.
