What in the World - How has Cyclone Chido impacted Mozambique and Mayotte?

Download How has Cyclone Chido impacted Mozambique and Mayotte?

Cyclone Chido has wreaked havoc in Mozambique and Mayotte.

In Mozambique, 120 people have been confirmed dead and hundreds of thousands more impacted by the storm. It’s further strained a country where protests and civil unrest have been ongoing since disputed elections in October. Mozambique’s constitutional council has confirmed the ruling party won the election. Our reporter, Evelin Uachave, explains what’s behind the protests.

But the French territory of Mayotte could be in worse shape - it’s the poorest part of France and already faced major challenges even before the cyclone made landfall. The BBC’s Sara Menai explains why things are so bad.
