Tropical storm Dikeledi barreled towards Mozambique on Monday after leaving three dead in Madagascar and triggering floods in the French territory of Mayotte, less than a month after the cyclone-battered region was hit by Chido.

The French Indian Ocean territory remains under a red alert until Monday evening due to the tropical storm. Less than a month after the devastation caused by Chido, authorities and residents alike have sought to reduce the storm's risks.

The French territory of Mayotte was battered by a new tropical storm Sunday, just weeks after the worst cyclone to hit the islands in nearly a century laid waste to entire neighborhoods and villages and forced a huge recovery effort by authorities.
