During a visit to the cyclone-devastated French Indian Ocean territory of Mayotte, President Emmanuel Macron faced anger from residents. The cyclone caused severe damage, destroying informal housing structures made of wood and corrugated iron. The death toll is expected to rise significantly. Residents like 73-year-old Ali Modu suffered as homes collapsed, forcing people to seek shelter in makeshift accommodations or sleep outdoors. Some, like Zenine, have started rebuilding efforts independently due to uncertainty about government aid. Macron's visit aimed to reassure citizens, but he was met with frustration over perceived inadequate preparation and response. Despite promises to rebuild, many residents remain skeptical about the government's ability to deliver timely assistance.
