Crowds in Mayotte vented their frustration at French President Emmanuel Macron, with some booing, as he toured destruction wrought by the strongest cyclone to hit the French territory in nearly a century.

The people of Mayotte, the poorest department in France, have previously said they suffer from underinvestment and neglect by the government. (AP video: Sam Mednick)
