Officials in the French Indian Ocean territory of Mayotte estimate Cyclone Chido killed hundreds of people after the worst storm in 90 years struck the Indian Ocean archipelago. The big picture: Mayotte hospital officials confirmed Cyclone Chido killed at least 11 people and wounded some 250 others on Saturday,

A senior official said Sunday that the death toll from cyclone Chido’s passage across Mayotte would be in the hundreds, perhaps even thousands, as France rushed in rescue workers and supplies. Their efforts will be hindered by the damage to airports and electricity distribution in the French Indian Ocean territory.
