French Prime Minister François Bayrou has presented a plan to help aid the reconstruction for the Indian Ocean territory that was devastated by a powerful cyclone a fortnight ago.

Days after the cyclone hit, Mayotte's prefect, François-Xavier Bieuville, had cautioned that fatalities might number "several hundred or even a few thousand." Bayrou's visit follows French President Emmanuel Macron's trip to the area. Some residents have accused the French government of neglecting Mayotte for a long time.
