Macron visits cyclone-wrecked Mayotte as death toll expected to rise
ai generated text
The cyclone brought winds of up to 140mph and left 22 confirmed deaths and 1,500 injuries, with 200 of them considered critical. The exact number of fatalities remains unclear at this time.
I think of the children whose houses have been swept away, whose schools have been almost all destroyed and whose parents are extremely distraught.
I have never seen a disaster of this magnitude on national soil.
There's no place in the Indian Ocean where people get so much help!
I decided to sleep here because I considered that, given what the population is going through, [leaving the same day could have] installed the idea that we come, we look, we leave.
You've been through something terrible, everyone's struggling, regardless of skin color.
I had nothing to do with the cyclone. You can blame me, but it wasn't me.
Our compatriots are living through the worst just a few thousand kilometres away.
I understand your impatience. You can count on me.
You are happy to be in France. If it wasn't for France, you would be 10,000 times worse off.
I cannot give a death toll because I don't know. I fear the toll will be too heavy.
