The Indian Ocean archipelago of Mayotte is reeling from Cyclone Chido, the most intense storm to hit the French territory in 90 years, according to officials.

Early last Sunday, after a night spent working at a small Mayotte maternity ward as a vicious storm devastated the French islands, midwife Lucie Gerard learned that a stranded woman was giving birth in a nearby home.

France will do everything it can to rebuild the overseas territory of Mayotte, which was devastated by Cyclone Chido, French President Emmanuel Macron said during a visit to the small group of islands in the Indian Ocean on Thursday.
