Vanuatu

A 6.5 magnitude earthquake has hit northern Vanuatu, just off the Island of Espiritu Santo.

The people of Vanuatu are being urged to brace for a second cyclone just 24 hours after Severe Tropical Cyclone Judy battered the country.

Parts of Vanuatu are due to be battered by a new tropical cyclone named Kevin.

Vanuatu is experiencing the wrath of Tropical Cyclone Judy with its destructive hurricane force winds damaging homes, uprooting trees and causing power cuts.

Three years after Cyclone Harold devastated parts of Vanuatu, villagers in Melsisi have still not any seen repairs or reconstruction work.

Tropical cyclone Judy, a category two cyclone, is bearing down on Vanuatu and warnings remain in place.

Two of Vanuatu's key political leaders have reconciled with the Prime Minister Ishmael Kalsakau and the former prime minister Charlot Salwai meeting on Pentecost island.
