General mobilization. Faced with the tragedy that Mayotte goes by means of, many native authorities have introduced that they’re releasing funds to assist the inhabitants of the archipelago devastated by the passage of Cyclone Chido on Saturday December 14.
The elected officers of Reunion, an island positioned 1,400 kilometers from Mayotte, have promised assist of 1 million euros. “A brother peopletestifies Huguette Bello, president (various left) of the regional council. We are united, and we are worried because there may be cholera, plague and other diseases. I’m afraid this will become a health bomb. And we must not believe that this would only affect the South…” Half of the donation is intended for the Indian Ocean regional intervention platform of the Red Cross. This should make it possible to help 2,000 families, or around 10,000 people affected, specifies the regional council. The other half will be devoted to “other emergency and post-emergency actions”notably linked to the reconstruction of the island.
Metropolitan regions are also mobilizing. Ile-de-France, chaired by Valérie Pécresse (Les Républicains, LR), will pay 500,000 euros to the Red Cross. The help of the Ile-de-France regional councilors, who observed a minute of silence and lowered the flags to half-mast, “will make it possible to transport not only human and material resources, but also to deploy a modular hospital and water purification stations”explains the regional council. The devastation that the cyclone left behind and the prospect of very heavy human losses also prompted the Greater Paris Metropolis to vote for emergency aid of 500,000 euros on December 16.
