>The death toll in the French territory of Mayotte from Cyclone Chido is 'several hundred' and may be close to 1,000, the island's top government official told the local broadcaster today.
Mayotte Prefect François-Xavier Bieuville told TV station Mayotte la 1ere that 'I think there are some several hundred dead, maybe we'll get close to a thousand. Even thousands, given the violence of this event.'
He said it was extremely difficult to get an exact number after the Indian Ocean island was pummeled by the intense tropical cyclone on Saturday, causing widespread destruction.
