French President Emmanuel Macron faced widespread frustration and anger from residents in Mayotte during his visit to the Indian Ocean archipelago, which is still reeling from the damage of the strongest cyclone to hit the region in nearly a century.

Mr Macron on Friday morning visited a neighbourhood in Tsingoni on Mayotte’s main island, where people remain without access to drinking water or phone service nearly a week after the cyclone.
