Rescue teams have been deployed to help residents coping with deadly Cyclone Fans in east India.

Footage captured today (May 3) shows a rescue team carrying supplies to a helicopter in Visakhapatnam to be delivered in the areas most affected by the storm.

The rescuers can be later filming their trip to the cyclone-hit zones.

At least two people were killed by falling trees in the India state of Odisha, agencies reported.

More than one million people have been evacuated to shelters along the coast.

Fani is currently moving north-northeast and is expected to weaken before approaching Bangladesh.
