Paris declared "exceptional natural disaster" measures for Mayotte, France's poorest region near Madagascar off the coast of southeastern Africa. Seven days after the cyclone hit Mayotte, 35 people were reported dead and some 2,500 injured on that archipelago by the French Interior Ministry. (Photo by PATRICK MEINHARDT / AFP)
