Two days after a powerful 7.3 magnitude earthquake rocked Port Vila, the capital of Vanuatu, the death toll remains uncertain. The quake, centered offshore, caused widespread destruction and left many trapped under rubble. Search and rescue efforts have been underway, with specialists from Australia, New Zealand, and France joining local crews.
The government initially confirmed 14 deaths, but the number is expected to rise as more casualties are verified. Over 200 injured individuals have received medical treatment, with communication slowly being restored in the aftermath of the disaster.
