Ambaeans who have already returned home after a state of emergency ended in November, are facing a lack of food because their animals have eaten or dug crops up.
The eruption of the volcano at the island's centre forced the evacuation of more than 10,000 residents last year.
The Daily Post reported Ambaean leaders in Luganville have requested that the national government consider continuing to provide food rations for the next three months until their gardens have matured.
