People board boats in the port of Dzaoudzi, on the French Indian Ocean territory of Mayotte, as part of an 'unconditional' repatriation scheme set up by French and Comorian authorities in the wake of Cyclone Chida. Since December 25, almost 650 people have left Mayotte for Anjouan under the scheme, which has no conditions based on status or financial resources. "I told myself that I had to leave," says Hassanati Assane, a Comorian who was in Mayotte for medical treatment. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
