Cyclone Chido struck Mozambique on Sunday, unleashing powerful winds and raising alarms about potential devastation after traversing islands in the southeastern Indian Ocean.
Footage shared by the UN Children’s Fund revealed boats wrecked along the shore and palm trees bending under the force of the winds. Cabo Delgado province, which is home to approximately two million residents, has suffered significant damage.
The storm has claimed at least 11 lives in the French territory of Mayotte, with the nearby islands of Comoros and Madagascar also feeling its impact.
