At least 24 people in Vanuatu have been killed and 3,300 have been displaced by cyclone Pam, the UN has said.
Authorities will on Tuesday identify Vanuatu’s worst-hit areas using aerial surveys by Australian and French aircraft.
On Monday the aircraft flew over the province of Tafea, where severe impacts are feared after a private pilot gave an early report of more deaths, widespread property damage and water shortages on the island of Tanna.
Little is still known of conditions on the ground in outlying islands after Pam wiped out the archipelago’s wider telecommunications network.http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/mar/17/cyclone-pam-death-toll-rises-to-24-as-vanuatu-begins-to-assess-damage
