Vanuatu is an archipelago made up of 86 islands, 65 of
them inhabited
Around 80 per cent of the agriculture is subsistence
farming and all the crops have been destroyed. Even if people manage to get
hold of seedlings for banana plants, mangos and manioc - the most popular crops
- it's going to be at least 3-6 months before they can be harvested. As if that
wasn't bad enough, the storm surge during the cyclone meant that much of the
soil has been destroyed by salt water.
This is our Pacific neighbour. A three-hour flight from Auckland,
visited by many Kiwi tourists seeking a Pacific Island experience. It truly has
been decimated. - Text from Vanuatu Support Must Go On.
