François Bayrou Visits Mayotte to Address Cyclone Chido Aftermath

The Prime Minister and five ministers aim to deliver solutions for education, health, and housing in the cyclone-hit French territory.

Cyclone Chido, which struck Mayotte on December 14, has left 39 confirmed dead, over 4,000 injured, and widespread devastation across the archipelago.
François Bayrou delayed his visit to Mayotte by a day and will arrive on December 30, spending 24 hours instead of the originally planned 48 hours in the region.
Local residents and citizen groups have criticized the government’s response as slow and insufficient, citing ongoing issues with electricity, water, and basic supplies.
The Prime Minister will be accompanied by five key ministers, including those responsible for education, health, housing, and overseas territories, to propose recovery measures.
A record €23 million in donations has been raised by the Fondation de France to support emergency aid and long-term reconstruction efforts.
