Ambae workers

No pay for workers on Vanuatu's Ambae

Ambae was badly affected by volcanic eruptions during 2017 and 2018, with the island twice evacuated because of the heavy ash fall.

People began returning at the beginning of this year and are building their homes.

Teachers on the island have called the Daily Post newspaper to voice their frustrations at not being able to access their salaries.

They said the cost of travel, first by truck and then boat or plane, is very expensive.
