French Prime Minister François Bayrou arrived Monday in the Indian Ocean territory of Mayotte to unveil a recovery plan three weeks after Cyclone Chido brought devastation

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.

French Prime Minister François Bayrou arrived in Mayotte on Monday accompanied by a large delegation including education minister Elisabeth Borne and Manuel Valls, the new overseas territories minister.
