Sinopse

Fresh drinking water is an ongoing worry for those in Vanuatu following yesterday's 7.3 magnitude earthquake.  Early reports estimate hundreds are injured and more than a dozen people have died. New Zealand search and rescue teams, equipment and supplies are currently on their way. The airport is only open to humanitarian assistance - and the port is out of action. Vanuatu-based journalist Dan McGarry says power is out and water's being restored very slowly.  "We lost two large-capacity water tanks on the hills just outside of town, so water supply is going to be a continuing concern."
