AFPFrench President Emmanuel Macron traveled Tuesday to the hurricane-hit Caribbean, to join the Dutch king who has expressed shocked over the devastation on the worst-hit territories. Authorities have begun evacuating locals and tourists from the hardest-hit French, British and Dutch territories in the Caribbean where many have complained about a breakdown in law and order and widespread shortages of food, water and electricity. "Even from the plane I saw something I have never seen before," the Dutch royal told the NOS public newscaster. Macron's plane touched down in Guadeloupe Tuesday enroute to St Martin. "He needs to come to look around, so that he realises the horror here," one local on St Martin, Peggy Brun, told AFP.
