Mayotte, the poorest place in the European Union, is facing a severe water crisis due to a prolonged drought and years of underinvestment and mismanagement. Taps only flow one day out of three, leading to diseases like cholera and typhoid on the rise. The crisis has highlighted the challenges and costs of managing climate change in France's territories. Residents are demanding accountability and investment in sustainable water supplies. The government is hoping for the upcoming rainy season to alleviate the situation, but residents believe it won't be enough.
