Cyclone Chido hits Mayotte with hundreds feared dead | BBC News
Hundreds of people are feared dead in Mayotte after the French Indian Ocean territory was devastated by a powerful cyclone.
Entire settlements were flattened when Cyclone Chido brought wind speeds of more than 225km/h (140mph), with the poorest living in makeshift shelters particularly hard hit.
Rescue workers, including reinforcements from France, are combing through the debris searching for survivors.
Some of Mayotte’s population of 320,000 have said they are struggling with severe shortages of food, water and shelter.

Israel’s prime minister has ordered attacks on the southern suburbs of Lebanon’s capital, Beirut, as its conflict with the Iran-backed armed group Hezbollah escalates.
Benjamin Netanyahu said “terror targets” in the Hezbollah stronghold of Dahieh would be struck in response to its rocket and drone attacks on Israeli civilians.
Israelâs pledge to step up its strikes in Lebanon came hours after the US president Donald Trump had declared that âall shooting will stopâ between Israel and Hezbollah. Trump made the announcement after Iran said it had pulled other of peace talks with the US, in protest at Israelâs offensive in Lebanon
The conflict poses a major obstacle to the US presidentâs efforts to reach a deal to end its war with Iran. Tehran is insisting that any ceasefire must include Lebanon.
The Israeli military ordered residents of Dahieh to evacuate for their own safety, without giving further details.
Families, crammed into cars stuffed with suitcases, blankets and whatever belongings they could carry, streamed out of Beirutâs suburbs, joining thousands fleeing towards the mountains as fears of further violence mounted.

The US has said it struck Iranian military sites over the weekend while Tehran said it responded by targeting an American base, marking the third known escalations in a week around the Strait of Hormuz.
US Central Command said it launched “self-defence strikes” in response to “aggressive Iranian actions”, which it said included a US drone being shot down over international waters.
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said it had targeted an air base used by US forces for an attack on southern Iran.
Kuwait said its air defence system had confronted “hostile” missiles and drones – with its foreign ministry later condemning “heinous and repeated Iranian attacks”.
Meanwhile, Israel’s prime minister has ordered attacks on the southern suburbs of Lebanon’s capital, Beirut, as the conflict with the Iran-backed armed group Hezbollah continues to escalate.
A senior Lebanese government official told the BBC that it was relying on US mediation efforts to pressure Israel to end its own violations and prevent further civilian casualties.
