STORYLINE:
Nearly a week after Cyclone Chido tore through the French island of Mayotte, traumatized residents are struggling to rebuild their lives.
In the capital Mamoudzou, people whose homes have been destroyed complain about the lack of assistance.
They are forced to borrow from friends and neighbours as they begin the job of rebuilding their homes.
On the edge of a shanty town, Ahmed Attoumane and his 18-year-old son are working on what was, and will be again, their house.
The roof and walls are gone. But they are forced to still sleep there – on makeshift beds on the floor.
Attoumane, a father of 5, fears burglars and intruders.
Since the cyclone, both say they’ve received no assistance.
"Since the cyclone until now, we’re suffering. There’s no water, no electricity, and no candles and we don’t know where we can go to the toilet," said Attoumane.
The rainy season is approaching and they worry they won’t have the means to rebuild in time.
