There are concerns that the cyclone that hit the French island of Mayotte has caused great loss of life.
Cyclone Chido brought wind speeds of more than 225km/h (140mph), flattening areas where the poorest lived in sheet-metal roof shacks.
A surgeon said the emergency department at his hospital has seen worryingly few patients given the scale of the destruction.
Authorities said they were having difficulty establishing the number of deaths due to the large number of undocumented migrants – over 100,000 – in a population of 320,000.
