🌀Se observaron ráfagas de al menos 226 km/h en el aeropuerto de Pamandzi. Estas devastadoras condiciones de viento son excepcionales y superan la intensidad de Kamisy (1984) y pueden compararse con ciclones históricos como el de 1934. pic.twitter.com/upM84a0uvs

Cyclone Chido has left nearly 1,000 people feared dead in Mayotte, a French territory in the Indian Ocean, after winds exceeding 136 mph caused widespread destruction. Entire neighborhoods were flattened, and critical infrastructure, including the airport and hospital, was severely damaged. Mozambique's Cabo Delgado province also faced devastation, with homes, schools, and health facilities destroyed. UNICEF has called for urgent aid, warning of disrupted services. Malawi and Zimbabwe are preparing for potential flooding. The worsening intensity of cyclones underscores the impact of climate change, leaving vulnerable nations to face mounting humanitarian crises with insufficient global support.
