Part 3/5:
The geographical distance between Réunion and Mayotte—approximately 1,400 kilometers—adds a layer of complexity to the logistics. Air travel takes between two to three hours, while sea routes could take up to four days. To assist with the aid delivery, the Marion Dufresne, a scientific exploration vessel, is also scheduled to transport supplies; however, the operation is currently hindered by logistical challenges, including a phenomenon referred to as "cluster log." This situation indicates that the volume of trips being undertaken is inadequate to transfer all available aid efficiently.
