Thousands of children are among the more than 11,000 people who have been relocated from the island of Ambae to nearby Pentecost, Maewo and Espiritu Santo since the island's volcano began belching ash and smoke over two weeks ago.
The volcano's alert level has recently been lowered from four to three but it is still up to the Vanuatu government whether people will be allowed to return to the island given volcanic ash from the volcano has contaminated most of the waterways and killed crops.
