Fatshimetrie, the essential news journal, looks at the critical situation in Mayotte following the devastating passage of Cyclone Chido. The tragedy has deeply affected the Mahorais, who now find themselves facing a daily life marked by the shortage of basic resources.
Indeed, the island of Mayotte, devastated by the devastating effects of the cyclone, is facing an unprecedented humanitarian crisis. Residents like Mohamed Ali testify to the alarming situation, with many roofs torn off, homeless victims, and difficulties in accessing drinking water and electricity. The lack of support and concrete help is cruelly felt in the poignant testimonies of residents who deplore the lack of means to deal with the situation.
The dismay is palpable among the population, who are calling for help to meet essential needs such as access to water, food and electricity. Bedja, a lecturer at the University of Mayotte, paints an alarming picture of the commune of Dembeni, where the most basic needs are not being met despite the days that have passed since the cyclone. His testimony highlights the urgency of the situation and the imperative need for emergency aid to deal with the crisis in the region.
Comorian associations point to the inadequacy of the means of transport made available to evacuate the affected populations. The limited capacity of the available boats makes it difficult to evacuate people in need, thus exacerbating the humanitarian crisis that is looming on the horizon. The Comorian authorities have therefore called on a larger boat from Tanzania to compensate for this lack of resources and meet the urgent needs of the populations affected by the natural disaster.
Faced with this critical situation, the call for solidarity and the mobilization of all is urgent. It is urgent to act to provide effective and rapid assistance to the affected populations, in order to alleviate their distress and rebuild a better future together. Fatshimetrie remains mobilized to closely monitor the evolution of the situation and call for solidarity with our fellow citizens in distress.
