A 35-tonne shipment of emergency relief supplies from the Chinese government landed in Vanuatu's capital, Port Vila, on Thursday. The aid package encompasses essential items such as tents, folding beds, solar lights, food, water purification equipment, and medical supplies, aiming to support the affected communities.
This assistance comes in the wake of a devastating 7.3-magnitude earthquake that struck Port Vila on December 17. The powerful quake resulted in at least 14 fatalities, over 200 injuries, and severe damage to the city's infrastructure, exacerbating the challenges faced by the residents.
The timely delivery of these relief supplies is a crucial step in the ongoing recovery efforts, providing much-needed resources to help Vanuatu rebuild and recover from the natural disaster.
