Macron faces backlash in Mayotte, promising more aid after Cyclone Chido's devastation.

French President Emmanuel Macron faced angry residents in Mayotte, an Indian Ocean territory hit by Cyclone Chido, over a lack of potable water.

Macron promised more help and led a crisis meeting before flying to Djibouti.
