A magnitude-7.3 earthquake struck Vanuatu on Tuesday, December 17, causing widespread damage and significant casualties.

We urgently need your support to provide emergency assistance for those affected by the disaster.

As of Wednesday December 18, the Government of Vanuatu reported the death toll is at nine, with hundreds more injured. With significant damage in the capital and a search and rescue operation underway to rescue people trapped under buildings, the death toll is expected to rise.

Please give now, to help provide critical emergency supplies including food, water and shelter.

Your gifts will directly support local organisations on the ground in Vanuatu to provide vital humanitarian assistance.
