A woman carries bottles on her head during a distribution of water in the city of Mamoudzou, on the French Indian Ocean territory of Mayotte after the cyclone Chido hit the archipelago on December 23, 2024. 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. But it is feared the toll may rise sharply given the large number of undocumented migrants from the nearby Comoros islands, who tend to inhabit Mayotte's many shantytowns flattened by the storm.
