From a Réunion news site: "Dans l’île Sœur, le phénomène s’est révélé plus
spectaculaire que catastrophique. On ne déplore aucune victime."
(On our sister island [Mauritius] the event was more spectacular than
catastrophic. There were no victims.)
There was some material damage on Rodrigues (a smaller island in the
archipelago) but again, no victims are recorded.

All donations to Oxfam, Red Cross, Cafod etc. are being pooled by DEC, the
