"Red Cross workers report "unbelievable destruction" after Tropical Cyclone Pam hit Port Vila, the capital of Vanuatu.

The Australian Red Cross added via Twitter that "humanitarian needs will be enormous. Many people have lost their homes. Shelter, food and water (are) urgent priorities."

The archipelago nation northeast of Australia comprises 83 small islands, many of which have little infrastructure and lack the strong housing structures that can endure a walloping storm. Because of the tropical climate in Vanuatu, some of the housing is made of lighter building materials, including straw and corrugated metals."

Vibes to all
