Cyclone Chido was a Category 4 storm that devastated the island of Mayotte and severely damaged parts of the islands of Comoros, northern Mozambique and southern Malawi.
Hundreds to thousands of people are feared dead, and large numbers of people have been displaced after the storm demolished entire neighborhoods. Many of those living in the storm’s path had already been dealing with armed conflict, disease outbreaks, drought and poverty.
