According to Vanuatu Red Cross, their Sanma Red Cross branch member Gloria Tarileo conveyed reports of the incident that she received from the aunty and relatives of Jade, aged 7 and his sister Christella, aged 6.
Tarileo said the children’s mother Veto was picking them up from school after lunch last Friday and they were rushing home to Nasara Village at Area 2 in South Santo.
On the way, they had to cross the Navaka River which was already flowing at high speed due to the heavy rainfall caused by Tropical Cyclone Hola.
