“The concern is to get food quickly and the lack of water. We are also afraid of disease outbreaks, because people are drinking water from wherever they can get it, and it’s not necessarily potable water. We will rebuild. Families are already helping each other, there is a lot of solidarity between every family but it will be excellent when the state aid arrives too.”

STORYLINE:
On the French island of Reunion, communities are coming together to help the people of cyclone devastated Mayotte.
People have been donating food, water, clothes and other assistance. Some of that is being collected at a community centre called Mayotte House.
For several hours Wednesday morning a steady stream of people came in with donations while others sorted it. Organizers are hoping to have enough to fill a container that they can transport in via a military plane.
The tiny French island territory off Africa was battered by its worst cyclone in nearly a century. Authorities fear hundreds and possibly thousands of people have died.
Survivors wandered through streets littered with debris, searching for water and shelter, after Cyclone Chido leveled entire neighborhoods on Saturday when it hit Mayotte, the poorest territory of France and, by extension, the European Union.
