Mayotte: 'We've had no water for three days now'
75% of the population in Mayotte lives below the national poverty line and unemployment hovers at around one in three. The population is heavily dependent on French financial aid.
Mayotte's impoverished communities, including undocumented migrants who have travelled to the French territory in an effort to claim asylum, are thought to have been particularly hard hit due to the vulnerable nature of their housing.
