Rescuers dig for survivors of Vanuatu earthquake with no water and unclear death toll

LA Times  

Vanuatu’s capital was without water on Wednesday, a day after reservoirs were destroyed by a violent magnitude 7.3 earthquake that wrought havoc on the South Pacific island nation, with the number of people killed and injured expected to rise. The government’s disaster management office said early Wednesday that 14 deaths were confirmed, but hours later said nine had been verified by the main hospital. Clement Chipokolo, Vanuatu country director at the Christian relief agency World Vision, said healthcare services, already strained before the quake, were overwhelmed. Resident Milroy Cainton said people were joining large queues to buy water in stores, but could only purchase two or four bottles at a time.
